I Cry Tonight

Neglected, I am  
So many times
No one considers my feelings
I cannot trust anyone any more
Disregarded, I am

Loneliness shoves me in a dark hole
Depression, it is
The world where I am lost
A world of burdensome feelings
Regrets
Shame
Sorrows
Feelings that never end

I endure the cost of my life
A life I never asked for
I am not happy
I cry
                                                                 I do not always cry
For crying is not style
But I get days
Moments that stay

 Today, unfortunately
I can’t hold back my pain
So I cry tonight
Cry myself to sleep
As a way of letting go
The burdens that saddle me

Tomorrow I will rise
With a smile on my face
Because I am thankful
I still breathe
And I will celebrate my life
As an innocent and happy child

    Wow. Very powerful. May the days be longer than the nights and sweet dreams replace the tears as the wounds heal.

    Mmm. Don't we all know that cathartic exercise of purging our emotions through tears.
