her story.. do you know it?

she lies awake at night,
waiting for the tears to take her away,
far from this world that she lives in.

she tries to cry, she really does.
but the tears that she swallows,
stays within her.

she shuts her eyes, and tries to sleep.
but as much as she calls to it,
sleep eludes her.

she envies those other girls -
girls who turn on their tears like watertaps,
girls who are able to cry when they want to.

she forces herself to be strong;
to keep a straight face and swallow her tears,
when all she wants is just to let it all out.

but late at night, when no one's looking,
she tries, yes she does, to let it all out.
but it doesn't work this way. (when has it ever?)

the lump in her throat only ends up choking her,
while the very thoughts she tries to forget,
haunts her.

she tries to cry out;
searching for release from the pain,
the never ending hurt weighing down on her..

but no one knows..
no one hears..
no one even cares..
