Every day goes by,
I try to stand tall,
Only letting my tears fall,
I tell myself,
That I refuse to break,
That I’ll get my chance,

I stand and wait,
Wait for the knock on the door,
Where I will open,
Just to check,
And hope for something,
Anything,
To help me to stand tall,
But to make my tears,
Cease to fall,

There is nothing,
No one,
Every time I check,
The knock on the door,
Is simply just an illusion,
That I create,
Attempting to create hope,

Every day goes by,
I try to stand tall,
Letting my tears fall,
I tell myself,
Go ahead and break,

But only on the inside,
Will I be screaming,
I don’t want to upset others,
It is my secret,
My false hope,
The tear upon my cheek,
Is the simple telltale sign
