Tears

Tears
Burning my eyes
Wanting to escape
But I hold them in
I don't want people to see
That I'm hurting
A couple of people
Already know that I'm hurting
But that's because
I was willing to open up
I rarely open up to people
It takes awhile
Before I can trust them
What's really sad
Is that I can't talk to my family
About what's going on
That's what most of our
Family does...
We don't talk
We don't say what we mean
I'm scared...
Scared to open up
Scared to lose the ones I trust
As tears
Still burn my eyes
Waiting to escape...
