Let me cry Let me cry

Let me cry Let me cry.

 

I want to see tears in sparkling rivers

Runing down my cheeks.

Forcing my mouth to move

For it never speaks.

Despite all this hurt inside,

My eyes remain dry.

God! Please!

Just let me cry!

 

'Cause I'm falling into oblivion,

And I simply want to feel.

Anything to pull me down,

I think I'm losing what is real.

Far too much hurt inside of me,

Yet no matter how I try.

Hellfire may burn my heart,

But I have yet to cry.

 

I have people digging in my soul

I feel so lost and I want to run.

Their false conceptions hit me

In my stomach and sap my fun.

I sit, sickened at their accusations

But all I do is sigh.

A false mask goes over my face

For I have yet to cry.

 

Some people would call me crazy

For wishing for the salty tears.

But I have found they vent pain

And soothe the worst of my fears.

Pull them out of me!

I want them to be my

Key from these shackles!

Please! I just want to cry!

 

Am I too resilient? Why do I

Stay silent and hurting rather

Than letting everything out...

Is it because I think its blather?

No, I don't know why, maybe I'm

Dysfunctional. God! Why!?

Why am I like this?!

All I want to do is cry!

 

Let me cry Let me cry

Let me cry Let me cry.

I'm beginning to see a pattern in our poets- not one (or very few) write of simply the depths of pain. Be pain depression, loneliness, confusion, frustration, or what have you, it seems like a solution is always being searched for, or amends are being made in each piece.

 

Damn, but it's refreshing.

 

We all know what pain is like, in our own ways. But figuring out how to deal with it, that's less common.

Peredhil looks at Ozymandias respectfully.

 

Thank you for putting your finger on it!

 

Every one hurts. The Chosen Few (or Cursed Few) express it in verse or rhyme.

 

But not many show the indomitable spirit you show, Rahsash! You show your weaknesses and pain, yet transform it into a form of strength, giving hope to all who read.

 

Good Reader's Insight, Oh Founder!

 

Great writing Rahsash!
