Cry

I began to cry

On how tired

I am.

And then I laugh

At my facade

The brushes I pull

To make someone's day.

I could be an actress

For all I care

But when the show is over

The tears start dripping into the air.

An endless cycle

Is what my life holds

One full of broken dreams

And broken hopes.

Broken hopes

That our world may be accepting

To a small, young girl

Who isn't ready

To face the tough life

And the pressure that it accompanies.

With the worries and strife

And too tired to harm

She slips under covers

Where she can at once meet her mom.

Even if

It's for a few

minutes.
