Why? Poem by Abby Sowers

Why do i cry so?
Its like PMS
it comes monthly
right at the end
I cry for hours
If I'm lucky only a sec
i try to stem the flow
but my block never holds
I walk around
people ask if I'm OK
people i don't normally talk to
i lie and say ya
My friends ask if I'm OK
i lie an say yes
When i lie to them i feel like I'm going to cry again
i don't tell because
its always over stupid things that i cry
they'll think Im just craving attention
but I'm not
i hate to cry
i cry for little things
but its like the little thing was to much
and my barrier comes down
and the tears just flow
Sometimes i get mad
Sometimes i get sad
It depends on what emotion i blocked the most
But out of the two no matter what
i always cry and then think Why?
