I Cry
I cry inside, you know.
Or maybe you don't.
I cry inside, you see,
For me.
I cry inside, you hear?
You can't?
I cry inside, and why?
What holds it in?
I cry inside, in silence,
No tears upon my face.
I cry inside, because
I cannot cry aloud.
I cry inside, without a voice,
A child afraid of night.
Who will cry for me?
I died tonight, because
No one cared for me.
