I’m an ugly crier.

Ugly tears streaming down my face,

My eyes puffy and my face red.

Ugly whimpers escaping my lips,

Muffled to my ears by headphones.

Ugly emotions ringing in empty air,

Anger swirling every time I lash out

And hurt echoing in my gasps for breath.

I’m an ugly crier.

Maybe that’s why I don’t want anyone to see me.
