The Tip of the Iceberg
I don't cry when a sad movie's credits roll.
 My tear ducts are dry while others are full.
 I don't weep at romance novels where the heroine dies.
 I'm not the kind of girl who just rolls up and cries.
 Here's the thing- Don't you know?
 When you see me around,
 You don't see me at all,
 Just a wavelength of sound.
 Just a fleck of dust from a mountain's rubble,
 The tip of an iceberg, what's hidden is the trouble.
 Guess what? I'm disaster.
 I holler and weep.
 At night, I'm haunted,
 Images in my sleep.
 I've stolen things I didn't need.
 I've even made my sister bleed.
 So i can say, without a hitch-
 Yeah, sometimes I'm quite a b****.
 But when a sad movie is playing in theaters,
 I won't grieve or even groan.
 I don't want you to see that-
 So I wait til I'm alone.
 
 I get my wish in the end, as I always do.
 I end up alone - yippee? - and you don't have a clue.
