can’t complain

—————————————

why should i

dry my eyes

when only more tears

will run

in the place

of those already

fallen

sliding along

the old tracks

why should i

hide my pain

when my heart

is bleeding

and my soul

has no rest

and my mind wanders

with nowhere

to go

but try as i might

to let it all go

i find

i can’t

complain

for some reason

i can not explain

my tongue

will not allow

my mouth to

complain

i fear

the coldness of

the stares

that i think i would

receive

if i laid

my burdens

down to sleep

inside i keep it all

and i vow

never again

shall i complain

why should i

despair

when my joy

is all around me

i may not

have a friend

but i can not

complain
