I feel like my life won’t amount to anything
What should I do?
I feel like I’m not good enough for anyone
What should I do?
I feel like my life is falling apart
I cry, but only by myself
Constantly I reminisce about us
Red was the setting sun, setting your silhouette ablaze
Your smile which shined brighter than any star
I keep wondering if you think about me still
They seem to fall gracefully at first, silent, warm rolling down my cheeks waiting to soak the creases of my neck. Emotions build, I become overwhelmed from all the overthinking. The tears brew faster, more rapid, heart beats increase.
Tell me your lies, tell me your sins
tell me the life that might have been
they have killed you oh once-mighty-one
for you have wilted under the withering sun
the golden god so fierce and brave
Tears rolling down my cheeks
Tears of sadness
Not tears of joy
Tears of worry
Tears about you
Tears about my mom
My sister
My brother
My dad
Tears about my life
I'll never understand the way you left and why.
Forgiveness will be difficult, over three years went by.
In all that time you never called or hardly even wrote.
Couldn’t take it anymore
Don’t want you to hurt
Even the sky is crying
I’m sorry I can’t do this anymore
i cry for help
but my mouth stays closed
you see my cries still
you know I am crying out for help
but you ignore me
because
its so much easier
to ignore someone's cries
when you are
Times do change
But hearts' beat the same.
Little things grow
But my head remembers still you
Deep oceans do rise
So my hopes for you to find
There was me and you in the end
I hold all my tears in my hand
so no one will hear them hit the ground.
My tears are so heavy.
They weigh so much.
They hold so much hurt, sorrow, and rarely joy.
Look a little closer. See behind his eyes of lies.
All they hold is despair, deceit, and despise.
He’s breaking into pieces. His heart is on the floor.
Burning,My eyes are burning,A family recipe of allergies and tearsThey spill down my cheeksThey pool at my feetCryingI can’t stop itI am no longer in control hereThey go where they please
It’s happening again,
Such unbearable pain,
And if my soul is crying
As my heart is breaking, then that’s fine…
I’ve let so many people down,
Lost so many beautiful opportunities,
I am drifting, a lonely piece of driftwood covered in pale moonlight on an open sea. I don’t know where I am going nor where I came from, but I am drifting. I feel hollow, empty like a piece of me is gone and it can’t be replaced.
"Boys don't cry"
Has been my recent state of mind
But I'm sure that it must be a lie
Because now I'm flooding on the inside
I am leaking from the outside
And I am plenty of a boy
Sometimes
My tears don't fall
Sometimes
I don't allow them to
They sit there, Right near the bags under my eyes
Or right on the center of my cheeks greeting my dimple with a smile
Inside
My tears fall swift and silent.
It is too quiet…
Deafening silence fills the air,
lays on my bed,
and covers the floor.
One Hundred and Sixteen
These quiet halls are bleak with emptiness.
My footsteps, slow and loud, alert no one.
The door to my room grows taller,
Weeping
Small watery beads fall
like tiny diamonds.
Glittering as the sunlight
sprouts from their surfaces
in prismatic tints.
S another day, another eight long hours of me holding my breath T waiting for something, anything, to go wrong O over and over, my soul experiences turmoil to the extent of death P this has been going on for way too long
I am in love with the rain.
The way it cleanses my heart,
and soaks up my pain.
The way it relieves me from the draining sunlight
that had burned up all my emotions and left me a barren wasteland.
It’s hard to admit you’re just as broken
Just as haphazardly strewn everywhere on the insides
Hard to admit you’re like us
Crying ourselves to sleep
Unnoticed in the darkness
A tight emptiness in my throat
A quick consideration of options but endlessly told to say nothing
Youth does not hide the terror in trying or the knife swallowed as i do nothing
All this time I’ve livedin another reality.All I did was giveand I was happy.
My reality is notwhat you would expect.But I wasn’t taught to not let it affect.
Just like dark clouds
you can tell it will rain
the storm will happen
showering the flesh in pain
It will crash and bang
on everything it may touch
this heavy set of rain
shivers down my spine
at the thought of you leavin' me behind
after all that we have been through
you made me think it was always gonna be me and you
now, as you head for the door
I cried today, and it's okay
In hindsight now, I can't fall prey
To doubt and fear, or dark dismay
Their dreary biddings to obey
*
I cried today, it's tough to say
Just why I cried, I can't convey:
Bang, Bang.
You Shot Me Down.
You broke my heart and let me drown.
You lost sight of what we had.
You didnt care if it hurt so bad.
We Fell In Love In A Hopeless Place.
I'm drowning in a world
Where you are the air.
I'm starving in a land
Where you are the sustenance.
I'm dying of thirst
Where you are an oasis.
I'm left behind
From where you had to go.
Handfuls of hair tugged tight,Kids crying out in fright,Do they know this is why people cry at night?People thinking they are always in the right,
What poetry has taught me is how to be true,
Even though sometimes I haven't a clue.
When I feel upset or mad,
I pick up my pencil and paper pad.
I write down my worries, my future, my fears,
So many tears
I have shed
Throughout my life
But there are
Many that I didn't
Know how to
Those ones I held in
All came out at once
In the form of a panic attack
We sing like Rain
We scream like Thunder
We shine Like lightning hitting the Crashing Waves
We Mourn like the Storm finally calming itself
We are gloom like the grey Skyies after a Hurricane
Slowly and sweetly arises my soul with a comforting, soothing fear.
A place, not a place, a man, not a man: Heaven! I'm finally here.
The guilt's gone away, tears flit to my eyes. Why do I cry in such bliss?
I celebrate myself as I mourn myself.
For days I cried, for days I wandered, lost.
For days I was afraid, so afraid.
So lost.
So lost.
For days I rejoiced, life was so good.
It's funny how stuff works out,
No matter how loud I shout,
You can't hear.
It's funny how shrill I cry,
Funny how much I try
To disappear.
But it's the holiday season, so what is my reason to die?
How the world is against feeling numb!
The towering trees demanding awe,
The twittering birds crying for attention,
The fascination one feels from looking at a lake.
How beautiful the feeling of being in love,
A break up is something couples dread the most.
It is something couples avoid or else they'll feel lost.
Our significant other is the one that makes us whole.
"I'm crying for no reason"
she told me when I asked.
I felt like I dealt treason
when I continued no further.
"I'm crying for no reason"
it rang through my soul.
I was much too young
I know you're hurt. I know you're broken. I know that you thought the last time that this happened was truly going to be the last time. I want to start off by saying that it's okay. It is okay to not be okay.
You.
I’ve cried more times than i can count today.
I don’t know what will become of us.
I want to stay with you because you do make me happy, but nothing is written in stone.
Dear User of Me,
You walk right past
not a word said.
In the summer,
I almost saved your soul
from the wrath of a blue-haired lady.
But, mama said no and held me captive.
When they told meYou had gone away,I didn't thinkThey meant forever. I thought you wereOn vacation,And I was jealousYou didn't bring me. But even now thatI understand whatThey said,I still wish IHad gone too.
I have never known what kind of person I am
Except that I like to be alone,
And that loneliness is my best friend.
There has never been a time that I was not relieved
To feel my tears stain mascara to my cheeks.
A final exhale staggered through pained lungs, As the heart gave in to its demise, Dark orbs glazed over, And screams haunted the darkness, While cries of agony filled the night, A dreadful symphony, A nightmarish harmony, A twisted chord, The vo
I live moment to moment
Heck, I am the moments
I am that moment when you're in the middle of texting someone and they call you
You tested my patience,
my unofficial commitment,
you tested my ability to actually love someone,
or feel at all.
she's barely making it through each day
there's some days she just wants to throw her life away
but nobody knows that because they dont look behind the mask
maybe if they did they would see just how much pain she is in
some days it feels like nothings gonna go as it should
some days im too anxious to do the things i love the most
some days i feel like an unwanted toy thrown to the side
I am afraid to close my eyes
Hearing the emptiness when I awake
Feeling any heart pounding against my ribs
lungs constricting to leave me breathless.
My head is spinning
as I choke down a shriek
She is twenty years old;
that means she has been living on this earth for twenty years.
However, do not mistake living with feeling alive.
Because it has been about five...
six, seven, eight, nine.
Away from you.
Away from pain.
Away from judgement.
What’s to gain?
Everytime you said the note was flat.
The baby is crying
he yells at her
something rises in the back of your throat
but it's the kind that holds you back
you flinch as his words grow fouler
as his actions grow in recklessness
The dark clouds roll in
with the promise of rain.
And I sit here staring out the window
with tear stained cheeks,
alone in an empty room
where the shadows creep.
I await the crying of the sky
When I saw my dad cry I was lost, the male role model who held back tears when nothing would hold back for him. Who looked challenges in the eye and smiled.
At night the same nightmare plays over and over. I tell myself that women shouldn’t think, not even alone at night, but the nightmare still prevails. I am sweaty and panting. My legs are sprawled open.
Alas, I must
I hadn't a choice, really
I coiled in fear and agony as I caressed her cold, leathery skin
Yelling for her spirit to reenter with no such luck
I’m emotional.
I cry a lot.
But these teary eyes
brown pools of mud,
drip only for a while
before they flood
into a heart broken pile.
Books, trees, paper.
Look outside.
Find a reason why you feel this way.
You seem happy.
You seem serene.
You seem strong.
All I hear are lies.
I'm confined.
I miss you.
I never wanted to admit that,
But I really miss you.
You never told me the password for the PS4
And your Sly Cooper icon is
Iconic.
Heh, get it?
It’s against the rules to bawl here. Not because someone said it, not because it would hurt anything. Just don’t cry. It’s that simple. Just don’t feel. Quit it.
Crying.
I was up crying for you all night.
I don't know you.
I've never seen your face,
Yet I was crying, crying, crying.
I wanted you there.
I wanted you to hold me.
You used to always cry at school.
The only thing wrong with that?
You used to cry about him being my boyfriend.
Heavy once again
Sorrow permanently
Permeating
Penetrating
Over and over
The insecurities
Stab like darts
Tears well up
Out of nowhere
Leaking and spilling
It hurts again
This familiar pain
The ache in your chest
The depressing rain
The gloomy sky
So high above
It feels cold
And chilly
And somehow wet
And it feels like
I used to think it was normal
To cry for three hours about nothing.
That it was normal
To think about dying at least once a day.
Try not to weep,
or grim will hear you as he creeps,
looking for sad souls to reap.
It’s quite cheap,
but that’s how he pays his upkeep.
And now your heart is hurting
And I feel it too
As mine has always
Been hurting for you
I reminisce of weightlessness:
peering down into 10, 20 feet of air.
My delicate days,
I recall,
as a haze
full of branches:
a careful cloud
of offshoots
that, long as I could,
Eyes red, dried tears on her cheeks;
On the roof she sits with pen and paper
Describing the beauty of the street lights
The sound of the rustling trees
Today was different,
I didn’t feel like I was drowning
In a sea of my own tears.
The cold grip of shackles
That encompassed me
No longer bound me
To regret or remorse.
Why do I learn?
To someday be wrong
Why do I sing?
Just words and no song
Why do I cry?
I haven't lived long
Why do I struggle?
With no visible end
Why do I smile?
I used to never know what it sounds like to hear my mother cry.Now she cries so much I don’t know what it sounds like to hear her laugh
When I was five,
I saw a cloud in the sky.
It looked like:
The places where fairies slept
They fall like rain drops from the sky
Sliding down the skin while time goes by
They go unnoticed
For she doesn’t make a sound
No one to hold her
As she lets it out
She’s done it for years
When in October the air was cold,
Leaves were falling because they were getting old,
Some trees still had color they were standing strong,
Daylight was little the darkness was long,
Death from lying
Always crying
My souls escaping to the sky
There is no love among this dark
Falling from grace and torn apart
Consumed by you I lost myself
Lived for your love and happiness
A faint mysterious cloud rolls overhead.
Darkness comes along leaving room for regret.
Memories engulfed with tiny drops of rain,
Slowly warning this is no ordinary day.
Silent tears run down my cheeks
As I try to get some sleep
Days may come
And Days may go
Though you may never know
Silent tears fall from my eyes
I hold onto a hope that never dies
She sings a song so soft and sweet
But it's filled with such sadness
It makes you want to cry
This song lets you feel her pain
And you want to scream
How can this be fair you wonder
Beautiful girl
Why are you crying?
Shouldn't beautiful girls
Be smiling?
Are not happy girls
the prettiest?
The vaguely audible drip-drop of tears onto floor
The sorrow, miserable countenance she wore
The expanding of an internal flame
Who is, I wonder, truly to blame?
She slouched, unevenly sitting
Burning cheeks
Warm froth on the tips of eyelids
Lips quiver and teeth clench
Tears dry on puffs of red skin
Nose yearns for air
Throat swells
Broken lenses
The salt burns my eyes
I've repeatedly told myself useless lies
I scream at myself, alone
There's no one else, because no one's home
"Stop crying! Stop crying!"
"Being this weak is embarrassing!"
Oh my darling, please don’t
Don’t let depression sear your heart
I know it’s hard to say goodbye
But sometimes friends must part
A woman knows how to wait without despairing
Gives all her love excpecting nothing in return
A woman is as tough as bark and as fragile as a crystal
She's able to suffer without spilling any tears
I don’t want to not believe
I don’t want her to become something other than what she sees
In the mirror, is a different person?
Researchers say crying is inborn
I had to learn how to cry
I stifled the sight of my tears
Away from the taste of salty crystals on my tongue
Afar from the expression of my fears
Now, don't cry, you've got
makeup on, and do you
really want streams of black running
down your face, do you want
people to say
that it looks like your soul is
leaking out of your
eyes?
No one can see
The pain in my eyes
No one can see
When I cry
No one can see
That i'm dying inside
Thise comments you make
Hurt like hell
Those comments you made
Left marks on my skin
From the outside looking in, everything was alright
Mommy was happy, Daddy held her tight
Everyone worked hard, everyone did smile,
We were all happy, at least for this little while.
Only I knew, that I prevoked this / Theres no closure nor a farewell kiss / I had looked in to your worried eyes / Such an enchanting shade of blue / I decided against the easier lies / I whispered I couldn't ever love you / I never f
"First step's so called education, next we bring assimilation.
We keep you passified so you will follow"
Send out the soldiers & fill up the prisons, Stand in line for superficial pleasures
A child screams for her mother,
A man cries for his wife,
A young boy holds the only thing keeping him alive.
There is silence all around
I am angry and upset!
I feel like a fool!
Not eveybody knows,
good! Keep it that way!
I wanna say I'm crying,
on the inside.
I do not love him enough
to shead a single tear.
hold your breath,
it's not over yet,
so you try to get away
you try so hard to destroy the monster,
when you relize,
that demon,
is you...
as the clone creeps closer,
Trembling they rise
Immersed in my grief
Ferrying my troubles with them
Dancing they fall
Catching the light
Diving down my cheek
Eyes bleed my miseries
Wrist bleeds my soul
So lost, still lookingWhere's the never found?I gaze with fixed eyesThis dark quest has me cemented My heart is dementedMy whole solution is buried Underneath the land of the hopeless
...sitting in a room, empty, consuming
the thoughts surrounding the little heart inside
as a tear begins to form, and slowly falls to the floor,
a voice silently questions, what are those tears for?
Why do we cry, let things happen as they will
Why are we so scared, as if dying at every chosen trail
Try going ahead, leave it at that
Try flying with the clouds so you don't look back
Does it matter that these tears fall for you?
That they hit the floor and the page, but not your hand?
Does it bother you that you did this to me?
When will you pull me out of this quicksand,
they sky is crying today.
thrashing gusts of angry wind
and my mind is a kaleidoscope
crossed in a multitude of colors.
i am in titanium cuffs locked by my inner thoughts
im chained to a brick wall with chains crafted by my dark past
i am bundled and gagged with rags weaved from my own fear and doubt
and i have lost control.
The mirror stands before me
after four years.
Finally I can rid myself
and make my skin clear.
Pop!
There goes my first "F."
I cringe and I make
noises not found on any clef.
When you cry
It feels like you die
Inside yourself
Because it shows everyone else
What you don’t want them to know
When you want to cry
You don't know where to go
Don't know where to hide
Knowing those moments leading up
Those words or lack there of
Words which stay in the head
Which way to look
People keep staring
I just look to the floor
Strangers start talking
a few more steps to the door.
Beep.. Beep.. Beep.
Heart racing; too much noise
Cheery smile, happy face.
Her eyes have sprung leaks
bitter rain, acid rain,
flushed out through the
pitched eaves of her face
as she whispers to herself,
her voice a dismal crack,
Shattered
The pieces of my heart fall around me as I sit on the floor my knees to my chest
There is a notion that
Crying is Romantic at night
Alone into the bed sheets
But the truth is
It can hit at dawn
Or in the afternoon
In the shower
In a crowded room
In a big room
Was this his fate?
Does your god make mistakes?
A splatter of cosmic ash orbiting naive minds
of worshipers.
But what a god he was,
For no reason other than: simply because.
People sit up and worry about the times when i do cry
.....in public that is
Your scent just suffocates me,
bringing me down into a hole deep and dark.
Why would you do this?
Your warm body was once mine,
keeping me from freezing at night.
Why did you leave?
I am sad,
I am hurt,
I am mad,
These words don’t work!
I feel empty,
I’m at a loss,
I’m insecure,
I’ve lost the toss.
I feel sick,
There’s too much stress,
You're a note sent from heaven,
To this battle field in hell.
I wish I could kiss you here
and the worries farewell.
Every letter written carefully
By a steady hand in ink.
So black and white
You'll never understand
The smudges and strokes
Of my untrained hand
The lines and confines of my several binds
That bind and tie lies to those who must die
I wish I lived alone
so no one would have
to hear the rain fall
and the rolling thunder
Instead I hide
and bury myself
in blankets and pillows
in fear of being heard.
Nothing –
Seeing clear as day
In the suffocating black of night
But cringing with confusion
When the sun sheds its light
Knowing there’s an answer
Not caring if it’s found
Her palms are wet and black from tears and mascara.
She thought she was in the right. Wrong.
Nothing is going to be the same. A wall will be put up around her.
Sleeves slip up in class, and you can see them
tiny white lines, one after another,
lines up in neat rows like soldiers.
She apologizes because she's sorry
they are a part of her dysfunctional life.
Those tear filled nights where you toss and turn,
Mind won't stop and the heart does burn.
Your words tonight cut in real deep,
So deep that it prevents my sleep.
I hoped you had intentions to mend,
Behind my bedroom door,
I hear screaming and fighting;
Someone always ends up crying.
They try and hide it,
But from were I sit,
It gets louder, and louder;
Overwhelming my ears.
I do not cry – not anymore,
Not since I was a little girl.
Little boys are not supposed to cry,
And how different was I, that I could?
Well, you know what I was not having?
Reader?
That.
I cry everyday for you.
One day you watched me as I weped.
Your face as cold as stone.
Maybe tears are not enough for you.
Maybe I need a little more for you.
Maybe I should just show you,
Lost inside something
That doesn’t exist,
Huddled in the corner,
Hiding my face.
Broken to pieces,
Glued back together.’
Stolen from my mind,
That piece that’s missing
"Everything will be all right,"
He says as she sobs into his shirt,
Her tiny hand clutches the fabric.
Between sobs he pats her back: rocks her,
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
You’re crying and you’re heaving
As pain rips you apart
And I can’t help thinking
Of how you do have a strong heart
Tears are gushing from your eyes
Filled with so much pain and anguish
It takes me back to the carriage
Where mama would craddle me at night
They way I would loudly sob when i needed her
The anticipation I would get while waiting for her to rescue me
Wounds from my past still sting. I try not to bring myself to that time again. Why can't things just be like when I was a kid? Having no knowledge of anything. Just care-free and dumb.
Tender little treasure,
I can see how broken you are;
How much pain you hold secret inside.
Hide away!
Close yourself off from unwanted destruction.
Shy away from those who may hurt you.
I stand with empty hands,
Scars on my wrists,
I didn’t know life would hurt like this.
Blood flows from an open wound,
Tears fall and burn,
Don’t get too concerned.
You send monsters to kill me,
Yet sings that I never die.
How is it that you praise my ending-
And hold your breath as I wake?
As if I’m just your trojan pond.
They lay with no bed,
They lay with no sheet,
They stay on the floor,
They stay with out heat,
They sleep with no dream,
They sleep with only fear,
They wake with no love,
They wake with a tear,
hell is when you cannot stop the tears
and you're stuck alone on a public bus
and everyone stares at you with pity
while you cry silently and pray to God
that you don't break into sobs.
and you do.
Some tears say I’m sorry
Some beg please look at me.
Some tears ask just hold me.
Some tears say leave me please.
Some tears say help me… when I feel alone.
I see you cry.
You sob and you hold onto me.
Your hair is matted and tangled.
And you cry.
Your body shakes
With sobs that don't seem to stop.
Your hands wrap around me tightly
And you cry.
I've got two guardian angels watching over me.
One is named grandma and the other daddy.
Both were loved so dearly and nothing brought them down.
They were both so strong and lived their lives proud.
Oh how I wish I could turn back time
To when you were still here, still alive
I miss you more and more each day
And nothing will ever be the same
I can hardly cope with this pain
Whenever I see somebody with their dad,
I feel so very sad.
I miss you more than words can express,
And I cry more than the rest.
I don't know what to do now that you are gone.
How will I ever move on?
Life is not so easy now that you are gone
I cry every night for I am not as strong
I wish you were still here with me right now
But I know it is better that you flew up through the clouds
His night is rough and bleak
Tears run down his cheeks
As the rain pours and slaps the ground
His father hits him, yet he doesn’t make a sound
For he knows the consequence of yelling
The nightmares come throughout the night.
They wake me with the fearful sight,
of the cars as they hit,
my best friend's face no longer lit.
I wake up with a cry,
hoping my friend did not really die.
I felt myself
drifting
flying
soaring
All eyes on me,
my mask adhered,
my smile plastered,
on plastic face.
What’s this feeling?
I see all of the flowers
When drought gives them pain
You help them by crying showers
Say you love them in the rain
I'm in drought because I'm lonely
What about me? Can you do the same?
~crying out
she’s just trying to make it
had a boyfriend who beat her..she couldn’t take it
bad things happen to good people
so she wonders if she should fake it
she’s always cautious
Almost every night I lay in my bed and cry
as the tears fall I wish I at least knew why
I try to come up with reasons in my head
I think that maybe I'm just stressed
Worried about school and becoming an adult
Words are power.
They can be used for good.
But when words are awful,
they can be used for bad.
Every morning,
I wake up to hear
My brother's taunting,
and my sister's tears.
Butterfly baby,
traveling way too fast.
Uncertianity is her future;
Darkness haunts her past.
Each fight we have, tears me down,
Of your standard, I've fallen short.
Barely hanging on with pain,
Can't you see that we're the same?
Dionysus hazed reality,
Patronizing life’s malleability.
Amethyst cannot prevent this truth,
When a bard’s words run dry and uncouth.
