There was a time before I was diagnosed with severe depression that it seemed all the pain was leaking out of my eyes. I don’t miss those tears.

I cried into my oatmeal

No real reason why

Just really tired you see

I cried on the treadmill

I felt broken and betrayed

Need a nap probably

I cried as I drove away

An old man smiled at me

You need some sleep dearie

I cried when you hugged me

The love feels undeserving

Shut my eyes 1, 2, 3

I cried into my pillow

Staining my whole world

There is no sleep for me

As I cry tick tick tock

My everyday drowned

Inside a saltwater sea
