I think we all have a darkness inside
A type of pain
That we all have to hide
We’re raised in world where crying is bad
Wipe your tears
Fake a smile
No one cares that you’re sad

But that isn’t true.
You’re feelings matter
Whether you see right through.
If it hurts enough
Enough to make you cry.
Enough to make you sad.
Or even just enough to have
Have a pulling at your heart.
Then it matters.
Because
Even in this world where crying is bad
Where we all fake smiles
And where no one cares that you’re sad.

Your feelings do matter.
