Crybaby

A reflection of sorts

When I was a little girl

I cried a lot.

It was how I expressed emotion

Happiness 

Sadness

Frustration

Anger

Fear

Relief

I expressed them all through tears.

I was sensitive

Some people said

A crybaby

Others called me

I was treated with alternating

Angry impatience 

And 

Condescending care

I hated them both

 

But now

I fear there's something worse

I don't remember how to cry

Author's Note

It's your girl back from yet another multi-month disappearance with yet another vauge and sad piece of poetry.
