These bitter rays on my face

This frigid air caresses me

My soul is leaning forward

Into the brink of consciousness

Waiting, watching for the telltale signs of the nothingness

That filters all

Morning comes with the lingering ghosts of the actions of

The night before

Voices fading as I rise to question the day's design

And we don't cry

And we don't cry

And we don't cry

And we don't cry

Options left to be decided by the remnants of the fractured child

To lift myself or to fade away

Today begins the test of life

I must be strong

I don't think that you can

I must be strong

You don't have the strength to

I must be strong

You never wanted to

I must be strong

I don't think that you will

NOW

And we don't cry

And we don't cry

And we don't cry

And we don't CRY
