I use to be so good at not crying,
I'd hold in my tears so tight.
I'd show no remorse or struggle,
There wouldnt be one sign of feeling in sight.
There was once a time i was strong,
I was invinsible in every way.
You couldnt get through the outer layer,
My mask was crucial to my living that day.
Long ago i had a mechanism,
I lived for me and no one could destroy who i was.
I responded to my name being called,
I was the person that everyone could love.
I use to be so good at not crying,
I'd hold in my tears so tight.
But now i let everything flow because of my weakness,
I dont have the energy to put up the fight.
I see myself in the mirror and i cringe,
I wish i could go back to when i thought i was ok.
Everythings so wrong and now i dont even belong,
I dont want to stay like this another day.
So here i am tears on face flowing viciously,
Wondering when i'll meet up with my past.
I count the seconds to that moment,
For then i'll find my balance on life at last.

Wow.

Awww Shugah...

Normally I'm not of the fan of the 'sad' poems on here, but my friend, you did this one very, very well.

Especially the way in which you kept bringing back the tears. It held the poem together, especially with there being no obvious pauses. The ending, especially, I liked. Good write.

I'l talk to you soon.

Sincerely,
Titus

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convinience, but where he stands at times of challange and controversy.
