I Cry

a poem by Deeksha Marur

As I hide myself in my bathroom…
As the water from my shower falls over me, I cry
I cry for the fact that I haven’t done anything achieving in my life for me to be proud
I cry because I haven’t been able to prove myself worthy
I cry under the shower for my tears are unseen and untold about
Under the skin is where I hide my true self
Under the smile I wear across my face are the lonely hundreds of tears I have cried
I cry for hope, hope for my life to become better
I cry for me to become better
I cry for the fact that I secretly hate myself but the tears I shed are the most waisted on me!!
