Tribute to being adult

It’s so pathetic

To try to hold back tears

When you look like

An unhappy child thinking

He’s too old to cry

An unhappy adult

Is surely not that tragic

But sometimes even sadder

And you try to hold back tears

Because you are too old

to cry

And it’s so pathetic

Because they run down your cheeks

And you know it’s stupid

To hold back tears

When no one’s there to see

That you’re crying
