Forcing yourself not to cry Hurts you deeply After all these years I've realized Forcing myself not to cry Has made crying a challenge If I cry I can't stop If I want to cry I can't Cry when you need to Dont hold in your tears Each tear unshed hurts you You may not realize But when you look back And see yourself not crying when you needed And try to cry, but the tears won't form You'll realize what it did that while back How it will eternally affect you Cry when your body says to, don't hold back
