Don't Cry

she learned not to cry
some time ago
she's been living a lie
don't say it isn't so.

no use in tears,
gushing down her cheeks.
still buries her fears
as the days slowly turn into weeks

a simple chant, still playing in her head
"don't cry! don't cry!" it coldly said.
continuously repeating those two words
taking away the right of her mind like she deserves.

a simple chant, now changing
"dont try! dont try!" the whispers keep playing.
two words that hit so hard
this life is like a broken mirror shard...
