When the emotions come flowing
So does the tears
Tears of sorrow
Tears of joy
And everything in between
Tears can blossom just from me being extremely mad. That's a different story within itself
Young adolescent me got told "You're too emotional"
In reality I'm empathetic
Young me just bottled it up
Stop showing the true me
Certain people knew I wasn't myself.
Went numb
Lost memories
When tears should have been shed
Emotions shown not hidden
Instead life went on while I was numb
Hiding
Internally screaming for help
Late night tears would fall out of pain
Wanting to escape but there was no where to go
Except getting lost in a book
My new escape from reality
My safe haven
Where I could be me
Empathetic tears and all
