Afraid to Cry
The weight of my tears will burden my chest for days, until I let myself cry.
A rising tide of emotions and despair that stick in my throat, then prick at my eyes.
I try my best to make peace with it but I just do not have the strength.
So this lump in my throat just grows
until I have to cry again.
Too many thoughts hold me like a prisoner, trapped inside of time.
Its as if im no longer present only an extension of the mind.
So upon my reflections, what I came to realise is this.
Im just afraid to cry, whatever crying is.
