Why do I cry for no reason at all?

My tears keep falling down to my heated cheeks

Why do I cry for no reason at all?

Oh how I wish I was six feet or ten feet tall

But I'm just small

My back is against the wall

I don't want to be here at all

I tried to smile

But my tears keep falling down to my cheeks

I don't want to smile to show my teeth

Am I sad or angry?

I'm not even that hangry

I wouldn't even dare to look at my plate

Things have been driving me crazy lately

Can't keep myself up on the daily

But why suddenly?

I feel like crying

There's got to be a reason

Why I am crying?

It's not like nobody is dying

I've trying to keep my head up

Demon people won't lay off

My life is heading for the downfall

My back is once again against the wall

And yet I'm still not tall

Why do I keep crying for no reason at all?

There are times I don't want to be here at all

Why am I here?

Can I just disappear?

Why can't the world hear?

I am sad girl

Haunted by my fears that brought me to tears

And yet no one will interfere

I'm still in my tears

Still I cry

I cry, I cry, I cry

Everyday and Every night

Why, Why, Why

Why do I cry for no reason at all?
