hustle

hurry down the hall before you break down

open the door and sob in the deafening quiet

your choking echoes off the walls

make sure no one's there

you can't let them see you cry

can't let them know

quickly try to get it all out

so no one will be suspicious

splash some water on your face and hope your eyes aren't

puffy and swollen

you can't let them know you were crying

hurry back now

don't be late

smile

and hope they don't notice your red eyes

you can't let them see you cry

wow.. i don't really know what to say,
outside of that. maybe it's just cuz
i know exactly what your talking about.
if you need to talk, let a white guy
know. because i'd be happy to tell the
honkey you need to talk to him. ;)
