It's when the rain seeps down from the skies,
And all the birds have gone to sleep,
And the darkness is my only friend,
That I feel like this

It's the feeling I get when the tears won't cease,
And the knife calls out to me
But I remain,
My whole-hearted and kind self,
Even with my mask on,
To which no human can look through

There are days my tears drip through
But even then I shield myself with another
Mask

Though I never reach out,
I know there is someone,
Somewhere,
Who will look through my silence,
And kiss my tears away

The author's comments:
I wrote this one night when I could not stop crying. Anyone who knows me knows that when i can't seem to stop crying, I end up cutting myself. I hope this is a sign of hope for all of those dealing with issues and only think of harm to calm their mind down. There are other ways, and poetry has helped me, on more than one occasion.
