When I was a baby,
I cried when I got a boo boo.
I cried when I didn't get what I wanted.
I even cried because I wanted to go to school.
When I turned 7,
I cried about stupid things,
That doesn't make any sense now
I cried about many things.
When I turned 9,
I still cried.
I cried about friends, school, and pain.
I cried about how school's too hard.
And I cried when I had fights with friends.
As I got older I still cried
About many things
Now I'm 13.
I'm in 8th grade.
I am maturing.
But my tears are never ending.
Things get harder as the years go by.
From experience I know this.
Yes I may be young,
But I went through a lot
I now still cry about family, friends, school, pain, and life.
But just because I cry,
It doesn't mean I'm weak.
But it doesn't mean I'm strong.
It just means that I have lots of people
Who care for me,
And people who I can't give up on.
I have people who are just there,
But not in a bad way.
There presences are enough.
I don't like it when people try to help me when they can't.
I want them to help me when I need it.
I'll ask if I want help.
I'll come to you first most of the times.
And ask you for what I need.
I'll ask you if you can help me.
Even if I just need someone to listen.
When I cry I want someone to be there to talk to.
And someone to try and comfort me.
Or just let me cry and hand me a tissue.
I cry now,
And I've cried before.
I will keep crying,
Just because.
Just like a river,
Tears always flow.
I cried when I was a baby.
And I cried when I was 7.
I cried when I was 9.
And I kept crying till I got older.
And now I'm 13 and I'm still crying.
I'm in 8th grade.
And I am maturing,
But my tears are never ending.
Things are getting harder as the years go by.
From experience I know this.
Yes I may be young,
But I went through a lot.
I cry about many things.
I used to cry about stupid stuff that didn't matter.
But now I am going to high school soon.
And I cry about things that are important
Things that are close to my heart.
I cry and cry.
But not because I'm weak,
But because tears are something
That don't stop at an age.
It's not limited to a group of people.
It's just something everyone has.
I cry almost everyday now,
But that's just because life gets harder as time goes by.
I will stop crying one day,
And then I'll let you see my smiling face.
But until that day,
Just promise you'll be with me
Every step of the way.
Even if it's teeny tiny baby steps.
I need you with me no matter what.
