Quietly,
Invisibly,
Silently I cried.
Secretly
Insecurely
These were tears I couldn't hide;
I tried.
I wallow in this anger
I show the world my frown
But recently in moments
My walls came tumbling down.
I didn't break down and sob
It wasn't dramatic or loud
It didn't fill the empty spaces
And it didn't leave me feeling proud.
But I allowed the secret tears to fall
Quietly rolling down my cheeks.
I felt a slight loosening, of my tightly clenched heart.
And it's not much...
but it's a start.
