Can he cry Knowing the winds won’t stop Feeling his heart pulse achingly Listening to the sounds in the other stalls There are others crying with him He still can’t cry Can he cry Knowing the failures will stick like duck tape Felling his snot paint his sleeves white Hugging himself in his time of fright He still won’t cry Can he cry Knowing this is one out of too many Feeling the burden settle so heavily Breathing in timing to the tapping on his knee The tears won’t come out He can’t cry Knowing it’ll always be the same Feeling the drain on his psyche Listening to the silence in the other stalls He’s still the only one And the winds still won’t stop And the clouds will pass by
