Dam of Tears

For everything that has happened

From either past or present

My tears haven't fallen

No matter how great

No matter how small

The tears never fall

I'm happy

And bubbly

Cute and more

But there's more

It's not something you can see

Not with your eyes

Definitely not

My tears have been blocked off

And are flooding behind my eyes

It's a bad habit of not being able to cry

It hurts on the inside

When all the pain

All the doubt

And the sorrow

Are trapped inside a bottle

The bottle someday will burst

If I can't get my emotions out

I go through the day

With a straight face

Or a smile

That no one can see

All the pain

Sadness

Sorrow

And Anger

Behind it

Oh how I hate not being able to cry

It's not weak to cry

But most say that it is weak

It's not true though

I sometimes find myself trying

And trying

To make myself cry

But the Dam of Tears won't budge

Holding back so many

There are only sometimes

When my tears leak out

But they only do for no reason

I don't understand

Why can't I cry

Why?

I want to

I want to be able to cry

So many tears I hold back

You don't even understand

I've gotten so used to it

I just can't cry anymore

When someone yells at me

I keep a straight face

When someone calls me a name

Just keep my face straight

It's odd

Usually when people get sad

Or mad

Hurt

They cry

But I can't

They don't want to cry

They think it makes them weak

The weak one is me

Not being able to cry

Not being able to let it all go

I want to

No...

I need to
