Claire Jones - I Cry

Yes, I cry
Because its easy.
Crying for me is a way out.
Eventhough I am crying about my reality.
Crying releases me.
For minutes I pretend I'm not crying
Not crying about my real life
But then reality kicks in again
Now I'm crying,
I'm crying harder, harder
I think about stopping but feel unable
I see myself crying and I feel ashamed.
Crying to me feels so wrong
I have more than others
Yet I still cry
I still have problems
I'm a person too.
Yes, I cry and it doesn't help
The problem don't go,
The sadness, its there
I'll never shake it off
So I return to the tears.
Sure I put on the happy, funny, smiley face
But underneath I'm just a little girl crying.
There is more pain, more pain everyday
I can't deal with it so
Yes, I cry.
