what kind of person internalizes everything
that happens in a given day?
feelings that surface and trigger
those saline tears,
that never seem to dry off of your face?
if it were possible to scream so loudly
about everything that is troubling you,
wouldn't that be so nice?

to feel like you have to always say whatever it is
that others want to hear,
never, would you ever want to trouble someone else
with your sad, pathetic, trivial issues!
don't you dare cry out in public,
you are only allowed to cry behind a closed door--
dry those tears and instant you hear another voice;
don't let others think for a moment
something so small could break you.

express yourself in this piece of shit poetic verse,
no one will care,
i don't care.
