broken dreams

cry

i want to cry.

i want to kick and scream

and feel the burning tears

scar my cheeks 

with the pain.

i want to let out the agony

with every droplet that falls,

and feel the overwhelming relief 

when its all gone.

but i can't.

i feel a lump in my throat

like a rock making it hard to breathe,

and i feel the stinging in my eyes

making the world slightly fuzzy.

but the i swallow

and i blink

and i smile.

and i push the pain back down.
