Simple Breakdowns

Sometimes I break down..
I cry until I can't anymore..
I feel like just giving up..
Slamming then locking the door.

I softly sink down..
Sit on my knees..
Look in the mirror..
And see the girl no one sees.

My eyes are red with pain..
My heart is blue with tears..
My cheeks are wet and soggy..
My mind is full of fears.

I think of the good times..
As they drift off to the bad..
I think of all the tears I've shed..
And how I am so sad.

I stare into the mirror..
Look right into my eyes..
Hoping and praying..
That no one hears my cries.

I don't want anyone to worry..
Because it's not a big deal..
Sometimes I just cry..
To let out what I feel.

So with one last look..
I quickly wipe my face..
Wipe up all the tears..
So I don't leave a trace.

I put on my smile..
Pretend like nothing's wrong..
Open the door..
Walk to where I belong.

No one understands..
Only I can hold what I feel..
My breakdowns aren't that serious..
It's nothing you should fear.

You just have to understand..
To feel better.. I cry..
Sometimes it confuses me..
The tears fall & I don't know why..

So don't worry about a thing..
Just love me with all your heart..
I am a strong girl..
I will never fall apart.
