Tears Held Back ~~~Ms. Parker

I am a hunter, and nothing more

I forever stalk the streets, the fields, the halls

I am feral, wild, and above all else, dangerous.

But I am still human

And I still feel pain

And should I chose to, I can still cry

But I won't.

Not now, not ever

For crying is for the weak and the helpless

And I am neither.

Survival is what it all comes down to in the end

There is no good, and there is no evil

Not in this world, not in this age

And those that let idealism and sentiment cloud their judgment

Will be found the next day, cold and dead.

Existing, ongoing, surviving,

I have learned to do it well.

But most of all, I have learned to hide

To hide my strengths and my weaknesses,

My feelings and emotions,

And I have learned to hold back

To hold back every tear that could have fallen

Every sob of pain and sorrow

Every cry of longing and need

Because I am a Parker, and I need to survive,

I will hold back my tears, till the day I die
