Why I Cry Alone

Very few people have seen me cry.

To many people I may seem like the type of person that does not cry often. Truth of the matter is I cry very often. More than people may know.

I cry when I'm happy,

I cry when I'm sad,

I cry when things don't go my way,

I cry when I have lost a loved one,

I cry from a broken heart,

I cry because I miss my grandmother,

I cry because I love him and I wonder if he loves me back,

I cry because at times I feel lost,

I cry because I'm free,

I cry because I'm over weight,

I cry from laughing so hard,

I cry because I love God,

I cry from watching a touching movie,

I cry alone because I don't want people to see me at my worst. Growing up in my family I have come custom that if you cry it is a sign of weakness and not having it together. So for many years I have cried alone I never even really called anyone crying. One day I hope and pray that I get to share my tears with someone that is willing to hear me cry and not take it for granted or use it against me. Until then I will continue to cry alone.
