Poem

My tears they fall silently

Sudden and strong

I cannot stop them

I wish they were gone

Why am I crying

The answer I do not know

Is it depression

Weather unlike the snow

It is times like these

I wish to be alone

but I do need a friend

I should pick up the phone

Pen to paper

I don't know any other way

All the pain and feelings

Everything I have to say

I'll fall asleep

Crying as I do

Wash away my worries

I am who?

another,

Leave me alone

You say you understand

Then go!

I don't want to hear your stories

I don't need your pain

Just let me be

Don't tell me to let it go

I can't

I wish I could

Maybe someday I will

Emotions come up fast

It snuck up on me

I wasn't prepared

It was all so fast

Didn't know how to handle it

I was just left to deal with it

Writing helps me deal

So leave me alone

I don't need your help

I can do this alone

Or can I?
