Empty

I have no tears left.
Or perhaps I do,
but they just stay bottled up somewhere deep inside me.
I need to cry,
I think everyone needs to cry sometimes
just so we feel human,
just so we know that we're not numb,
just so we can have an outlet.
I can cry tears of anger
and tears of frustration,
but my body never cries the tears that I truly need to release;
the tears of anguish and pain.
I need to let them out,
I need to fucking scream at the top of my lungs.
I can feel the emotions bottling up,
and I was so sure that I would have exploded by now,
but still nothing happens.
Still, I'm forced to live with it,
to live with that pain
that doesn't have an outlet.
I just have to wait
and wait
and wait
until my body finally gives up
and allows the emotions to flow out of me
all at once.
