I do not cry to cause you pain
I cry to express my own
I cry because I feel deeply
Be it sadness, regret, or joy
I cry because it's real
No more numbing myself
Just to hold back tears
I tried pleasing you too many years
Tries so many ways - out of both love & of fear
Time to be myself, to live with my tears
I am as you made me
I'm both sensitive And strong
My tears are part of who I am
And who I am was Not made wrong.
