'Don't cry' They'd say 'You cry too much' They'd say 'Crying is weak' They'd say 'You're too sensible' They'd say 'You're such a crybaby' They'd say 'You're too much' They'd say I was 9 but I felt broken I stopped showing my sadness Bottling it all up I dare not cry 'Crying is bad' I'd tell myself 'I'm proud of you for not crying' They'd say BUT Crying is NOT bad Crying is HEALTHY Crying is a STRENGTH Feeling deep is a GIFT I know that now

Crybaby
'Don't cry' They'd say 'You cry too much' They'd say 'Crying is weak' They'd say 'You're too sensible' They'd say 'You're such a crybaby' They'd say 'You're too much' They'd say I was 9 but I felt broken I stopped showing my sadness Bottling it all up I dare not cry 'Crying is bad' I'd tell myself 'I'm proud of you for not crying' They'd say BUT Crying is NOT bad Crying is HEALTHY Crying is a STRENGTH Feeling deep is a GIFT I know that now
It took me a long time to realize that and I hope you don't take as long as I did
