Cry of Nothing

The cry starts slow

But gets faster and angrier

Tears fall fast then your mascara drips down your face

The mask cracks

The mask of deception

The deception of being happy

The deception of not being wounded from words

It cracks and you glue the pieces back together

But now that it’s cracked it doesn't fit right anymore

The darkness starts pouring out of the cracks 

It takes over your life

All of a sudden it’s hard

Hard to get out of bed

Hard to care 

Hard to live

You become a shell 

Just another speck in the world
