Sometimes I Cry

People don't know me
I hide myself from the world
So as not to show myvulnerability
I hide from the fears
That keep me on this course
Of a lack of love and trust
Of anxiety and dread
No one knows that I cry
Or at least I assume so
For I cry alone in my room
Which I know sounds cliche
Sometimes I cry
For I have a lot to cry about
Sometimes I cry
I'm getting ready to graduate
So I'm goingto college
Sometimes I cry
I am afraid of my brother
And I am afraid to stand up to my father and mother
I have school
I have work
I have friends
I have family
I have obligations
I have a future
I must focus on all these these all at once
Multitasking the thoughts within my mind
Claiming it is the fault of my ADHD
To which I was diagnosed with as a child
Whenever I veer onto a separate tangent in my mind
No one knows that
Sometimes I cry
I don't want anyone to know that
Sometimes I cry
I don't trust anyone to know that
Sometimes I cry
