Momma said not to cry

Daddy said not to lie

Does that exclude you

Does that exclude my feelings to

The neighbors whisper

The morgues fill

We stay still

We do not lie

We do not cry

We express in victory

And grieve in 2nd place

There is wall high and mighty

Our feeling punch the wall

Blood splattering our ego's

The wall chips but never really goes away

The dents, forever grudges

Punch punch

Momma said not to cry

Daddy said not to lie

" Are you alright"

"Yes"

I lie

I cry
