i hate crying.
it made me feel weak, that i wasn't strong enough to overcome.
i felt inadequate.
even if i felt another emotion, they still spilled.
an overfilled glass.
why can't i appear strong enough?
i swear i am.
so tears, listen to me
i want you to stop falling, i don't want to drown in my own sadness.
i'm tired of crying a river.
i want to build that bridge and get over it.
but i can't control them.
they won't listen to me,
and i hate you for that.
