Silently

Standing in a crowd
Happy people all around
No one notices
My tears falling to the ground.
Early on in life
I learned to cry in silence
Out loud or to yourself
There really is a difference.
Quietly you don't have to explain
Or try to develve the
Depth of your pain
Out loud it makes people wonder
With their fake concern
When really they couldn't care less
And guiltily they burn.
So oh so silently
I wallow for a while
Watching the happy people
And pasting on a smile.
