Crying Won't Make Things Hurt Any Less

Sitting here
my eyes burning red
gritting my teeth
it has to be said
that I'm angry
so outraged and I
can't give a straight
reason why
I just want to break down
I want to fold into myself
but I don't want to cry
I never want to cry again
what's the point of crying?
it won't help anything
just make you appear weak
impair you,
and cause you to fall meek
crying doesn't
bring relief
only a state of grief
a moment of weakness
a form of helplessness
how is that release?
you come back when you're ready
when your eyes dry and your
heart hangs heavy
and you tell me honestly
how crying helps a damn thing
