I am a teary-eyed girl
May 22, 2018
I am a teary-eyed girl
I wonder why tears fall from my eyes before words form on my tongue
I see the corners of their faces rise
I want to smile like they all do.
I am a teary-eyed girl
I pretend that I am happy so they’ll like me
I feel their eyes staring through the walls
I touch the dampness of my salty cheeks
I worry that one day they’ll know
I cry salty seas of a thousand feet
I am a teary-eyed girl
I understand that sometimes it is okay to cry
I say that I’ll never be good enough
I dream that one day I will
I try to be like them even though I never I will
I hope that one day I’ll be happy
I am a teary-eyed girl
