{~Don't cry~}

A person who Cry's in front of others in my family seems to be a weakness

Every time I cry when being yelled at or threatened

Or even being punished for something I didn't do

I get called names
I get told the devil is playing games with me

That I'm being a joke
Worthless
My dad has even threatened me once

He told me that if I ever acted up again over wanting to go home in public

He beat me naked
That scared me
So I always when around him I held my tears

Boys
Boys scare me
Because they are strong then females

And they not all of them but some of them think that they have power over girls like me

Like my dad for example
He ...I love him I do but I never looked at him the same after that threat

He has even threatened to slap me across the face once

He said he was showing me what a threat was

That scared me
That made me scared of him for a moment

And what's worse is that he doesn't remember so if I ever  mentioned it to him

He Just say that I'm being dramatic and stupid

I don't cry not in the light
I'm fine in the light

In the dark is when I am showing true emotion

Princesses don't cry
Girls are suppose to be strong and be able to toughen up

At least that's what my family says

I cry behind closed doors

Because

I'm not suppose to cry
I'm suppose to forget and forgive in a heartbeat

So I do in the light were things are normal

But then once the sun sets
I open my jar
I don't waste time to spill all the tears I must shed

So maybe in light princesses  don't cry

But in the dark

Princesses Do Cry
