"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
