Don't Let Them See Me Cry

Don't let them see me cry,
When the winds blow hard and drown me.
I'll come out when time will fly,
So long as I'm no more afraid to be.

Let me be in darkness for a while.
Don't turn on the lights,
So I can make some sense of the situation
And try putting up it with a smile.

Even though the smile won't be real.
They wouldn't know.
Just don't let them see me cry.

Don't let them see me cry.

I adore the metaphors in this one...

And the italic line ends the poem beautifully.
