When I Cried

when I cried

it wasn't for you

or being born

but everything in between

dragging too many textbooks

fear of getting looks

ignoring invites sent

lost and distant friends

not doing enough

being less than tough

Time's Olympic-record pace

loving too many a face

snoozing overtime

worrying about rhymes

being different

bodily discontent

beauty outside

futility of life

and it brought a sense of relief

Never really learned how to cry. Yeah I know. I am female, supposed to be a master at it. Sometimes I wonder if I would be able to write if I could cry, lol. Love the everything in between line. what is black or white, mixed a shade of grey.

"when I cried
