I want to cry on your shoulder
Because you are the one person
I know would be okay with me crying
I grew up from a young age
Told that I’m not supposed to cry
I think my mom just meant
I was crying over something stupid
But this sentence came up
Time and time again
So I figure it to mean
That I’m not allowed to cry
And around my friends
I rarely cry
Because they expect me to be stone
They expect me to always be okay for them
And I don’t like it when I cry to myself
Because I feel tired of being a pity party
So the only option I have left
Is say I am tired
Because if I yawn enough
And pretend that my water filled eyes
Are just heavy from lack of sleep
I might forget that I want to cry
Because I can’t cry anymore
So you ask me if I’m okay
I tend to reply
‘Yeah, just tired’
