why can't i cry?

is it because it reminds me of rain falling on my face

or because the rain isn't there to hide the tears?

why can't i cry?

is it because there's nothing to cry about

or because i choose to ignore the emptiness inside?

why can't i cry?

is it because i don't know how

or because i bottle up every sob?

why can't i cry?

is it because i know nothing will come of it

or because i don't want others to see that i, superwoman, can feel?

is it because i feel stupid

or because i feel stupid, knowing i can't help myself?

could it be, that i'll look like a fool

when i'm a fool to think so?

i ask again

why can't i cry?
