CRYING ON THE INSIDE

by Derrick Williams   Feb 18, 2015


SOMETIMES WE GET HIT WITH SO MUCH CRAP,
THAT WE FEEL LIKE TAKING A DIRT NAP.
WE'VE ALL BEEN HURT IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER,
AT TIMES FROM OUR OWN MOTHER!

THE PEOPLE WHO CAN HURT US THE WORST,
ARE THE ONES WE'RE CLOSEST TO!
AND THAT MAKES IT HARDER TO ENDURE,
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE!!

YOU TRY SO HARD TO BE STRONG OUTSIDE,
AND AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME,
YOU'RE SO WEAK INSIDE IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY,
THAT'S WHERE THE TEARS COME IN.

THERE WAS A POINT WHEN I THOUGH I'D LOST IT,
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO TALK TO OR TRUST,
I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD INSIDE,
THAT'S WHEN MY TEARS STARTED FLOWING.

I WAS CRYING SO HARD IT WAS CRAZY,
THEN I REALLY BROKE DOWN,
BECAUSE MY TEARS FROM THE INSIDE CAME OUT,
AND THAT MASK I PUT UP WAS GONE.

SO IF YOU KNOW LIKE I KNOW,
DON'T HOLD ANYTHING IN TOO LONG,
BECAUSE IT'LL MESS YOU UP SO BAD,
YOU'LL THINK YOU WERE CRAZY!

BELIEVE ME, I KNOW.
I WAS THAT PERSON.

CRYING ON THE INSIDE.
