I Cry Alone

If I'm down and out of place
Do not try to wipe my face
All my thoughts are all my own
So now I'll tell you I cry alone

Once upon a sad old time
I'd come to learn my Grandma had died
My face went blank, emotions not shown
I waited until I could cry alone

At your scorn and ridicule I will scoff
Strut around while I laugh it off
Even though the wounds are unknown
You can be sure that I'll cry alone

Maybe one day when I'm on my own
My internal struggle will have begun to show
You'll walk in and my true self will be known
Only then will I not cry alone
