These Tears Inside
Don't cry, don't cry
Tears leaking out of the corners of my eyes
The muscle behind my nose clenching
Breathing, in and out
Shuddering, aching, its gone
Shower off, sauntering out
Ignoring the mirror before me
I'm drying and reclothing
Climbing up the stairs to my family
Saying hello, how are you?
And, thanks, I'm great.
Watching from the kitchen table
The baby squealing, younger brother chattering
Father laughing over the phone
I'm not sure why I feel this way
Hidden, the scenery
This shell around me,
Where did it come from?
Leave me, let me free
I cry
