Hidden Tears

Pain consumes me
Pulling, tearing, destroying
Emotion, Emotion.

Tears are for the weak
Screams for the selfish
Tolerance, patience, sufferance is all I know

Not allowed to cry
Forbidden from breaking
Yet cracked to the core

Screaming inside, terrified
Hidden worries, tears, screams
Why do these horrors continue?

I wish to be free of this agony
These fears which feed off thought
If only, if only
I could cry
