"Mom......" I cry as she lay dying in my hands.
Just like my dad did years ago, I know she'll die. I'll have to go the orphanage on maple street without having any family! I will be my only decent. Mom.....
I just can't hold it in anymore.
The sadness is painful to hold in.
I am scared about the consequences.
Scared about how my life will be in jail,
Because I can't hold back my feelings any longer.
I am trying not to
Not cry, not for myself
But for my friends
And the world
Hearing a cry in this world makes you cringe.
It could leave you deaf
And leave behind grief
Because that's what they're punishing us for,
Right? Not because tears can kill
Anyone's heart if there's the right amount
But now tears are pouring out
