Please Don’t Cry

Don’t cry. Please, don’t cry. You hear the words, but you know it doesn’t mean anything. How could it mean anything when it’s only your reflection that speaks and looks at you with dead, soulless eyes, the despair etched in your features and the shadows devouring you whole?

You really shouldn’t be crying anyway because no one cares and you always have to present a strong façade. You need to smile and smile some more and pretend that everything is all right because, of course it is, isn’t it? Nothing’s wrong.

Aren’t you so happy that you feel like crying tears of joy and happiness? Hey, stop crying. You’re not supposed to cry, remember? It’s okay. Really, it is.

Even if you see people hugging and embracing and being happy and smiling and laughing in front of you, what does that matter? You don’t care, right? You’re still happy, aren’t you? You don’t need that.

You don’t need a shoulder to cry on, you don’t need to be comforted, you don’t need to be loved. You’ll be alone forever because no one cares. This is the way it works. It can’t, won’t, change. So, don’t fight it and just stop crying. Do you want to say goodbye and end it all?
