Cry to Sleep

"Cry to Sleep"

So many years ago,
Not long in my eyes,
I ran through the hall
And hardly cried.

I was a happy girl-
No matter the storms inside...
But sometimes I think
The walls have collided.

I cry myself to sleep,
And don't even know why,
And deep down I hurt
And I don't understand why.

I scowl all the time,
And I cross my arms,
Forget that smiling
Can reverse some of time's harm.
