I usually don’t cry
can’t allow myself to feel
makes the heartbreak and pain
seem all the more real.

I usually don’t cry
doesn’t matter if I’m happy or sad
I usually giggle with giddiness
or just get really mad.

I usually don’t cry
not because I think it means weak
but because it’s my composure
that I want to keep.

I usually don’t cry
I’m not made of stone
I just don’t cry
is that wrong?

My brother and my mom
both passed away
I must admit
I cried those days.

I usually don’t cry
it exhausts me when I do
but then there are times
that I really just need to.

I usually don’t cry,
I don’t like tears on my face
for me personally
there is no good time or good place.

I usually don’t cry
it takes a lot out of me
because I usually cry so hard
that I literally can’t breathe.

I usually don’t cry
don’t try to give me reason
for me there are circumstances
and I’ll do so in season.

I usually don’t cry
but today I did
because I watched a mom
lose her kid.

I usually don’t cry.
