A river of tears

I've been crying for hours Slept in tears I woke up in a river You'd swear I was drowning I cry myself to sleep every night Only to wake up soaking I'm even shaking Scared to face the truth I wish I could skip sleep Why do people get tired anyway? We don't need to rest It's not like we're charging or anything They don't know what I see with my eyes closed If they knew, they wouldn't believe it Hence why I don't say anything They'll think I'm crazy Although it's not my fault It is my cross to carry
