She CriesA Poem by Sarah MarieShe can’t help but cry Though she doesn’t know why; She hates the way She feels every other day And the tears from her swollen eyes She cannot help but cry, Black mascara running down her cheeks- She hasn’t cried like this in weeks. She wishes she weren’t so depressed, And she feels like a mess. She hides her face From the shame and disgrace She knows from their worried stares- She doesn’t know why they care Or try to understand The scars covering her hands, The tears clinging to her eyes When she finally cries. Her sadness stays Though to be happy is all she prays Between the sobs and wails- Attempts to smile always fail. She hates herself for the way She makes others feel every day; She thinks of all her tears and their cost- Love is gone and friendship is lost On this girl who cries Though she doesn’t know why. The greatest pain is that she takes From others; her heart breaks To know the sadness her own has made; Her breath escapes when she sees their happiness fade. She hates herself and this guilt- Like a flower, she slowly wilts; Their worry and pain her rain, She knows her sadness may never wane And she still may cry- She remembers when she did not know why And the sadness was all her own- She feels so alone To know what her tears have done Even though she is just one. She cries, Though she doesn’t know why. They say it is all in her head, And she wishes that she were dead- That she could drown in the tears she cries Even when she doesn’t know why.
