Almost everyday I feel like crying. At first my emotions are under control Then in the blink of an eye despair sinks in. My chest feels tight, my heart aches. I feel like at any moment I'll break down, Allow the tears to pour freely from my eyes. But I don't, I keep it in. I do not give myself the satisfaction, Of the body trembling Earth shattering Cry that I yearn for. I take a deep breath To ease the tightness of my chest, And hope that I make it through another day With out giving in to my weakness.
