i often find myself crying for no reason at all
except that i feel like i need to.
it's one of my oddities, i suppose, or maybe
it's a side effect of feeling so deeply
and never saying anything.
all of a sudden i'm hit with the need to bawl
my eyes out, and it can happen in an instant.
i feel sadness constantly
and i am like a churning ocean
of emotion that can conjure up waves seen
only in my nightmares—dangerously
and spontaneously.
sometimes, when i have nothing better to do,
nothing better to feel,
i let myself cry and cry until my eyes are dry.
it's one of my talents, i suppose, or maybe
it's just a side effect of feeling so deeply
and never saying anything.
