I cry in the dark for a reason
So no one can see my weakness
I sit alone for a purpose
So no one can ask how I am
I don't talk so I don't mess up
I cross my arms and bite my tongue
I can't say it
The hurricane inside me speaks
But only to me
And it's voice sounds like death
Coming to take me away
Wrapping its cold boney fingers around my neck
And wringing the life out of me
It rains for a reason
So the sun can't show it's fear
To cover up the body of somebody dear
