little girl,
don’t cry in front of strangers
in the movie theater
everyone is looking at you
no one is supposed to know
you are crying
even your dearest one
cry without a sound.
little girl,
don’t cry in front of your mom
you don’t want to be questioned
“why are you crying”
again
and again
cry alone in the bathroom.
little girl,
don’t cry in front of your love
even if they hurt you
even if they didn’t care
even if they cared for someone else
it is embarrassing
you don’t drench their shirt
soak your own pillow.
little girl,
don’t cry in front of your friends
they expect amusing stories
not depressing talk
nor gloomy expression
or even a raise in voice
give them freedom
don’t complain
don’t be sad
don’t cry.
