She Never Shed A Tear

When she was young, she bumped her head
She did not shed a tear
She scraped and bruised her knees
She did not shed a tear
She was scolded by her mom
She did not shed a tear
She asked for a cup of ice cream but was ignored
She did not shed a tear
She was humiliated in front of a crowd
She did not shed a tear
She lose people dear to her
She did not shed a tear
She watched a movie, everyone cried
She did not shed a tear
She failed
She did not shed a tear
She was hurt, but again
She did not shed a tear
All the tears were gone, a long time ago
It dried as long as she can remember
She was tired, she needs to rest
She slept thinking it was the best
She was wrong everything was the same
Nothing changed.

This is so true. I cry almost every night. Nobody knows. People wonder why I get no sleep at night and they wonder why I never cry. Truth is I do cry, just not around them. I cry silently in my room.

THIS IS ME!! :D I feel less alone. I have lots of friends most have never seen me cry ever. My so called 'best friend' dumped me because we had a minor fight and we aren't friends anymore, everybody was like "omg she's gonna cry" never shed a tear. it was traumatic for me after it because she spread rumors about me and it ruined my life I never cried. Dude I cry myself to sleep at night sometimes, but nobody ever sees. Loved the poem <3 Everything is just like me
