When My Parents Cry
Navigating Guilt and Obsession: When My Parents Cry by Ricky Jamaraz
Lyrics
When my parents fight
Conflict arises between my parents
They fight over what's best for me
Their conflict revolves around what they perceive as best for me
I don't feel guilty
I don't experience guilt in this situation
When my parents cry
My parents' tears
They cry over that thing I did
They cry because of something I've done
I don't feel anything
I lack emotional response to their tears
Maybe I'm just scared
I might be afraid
Of the things inside my head
I'm fearful of my inner thoughts or feelings
And I'm scared to tell the truth
I'm afraid to be honest about my feelings or actions
Cause the truth will always hurt somehow
I fear that the truth will cause pain
Maybe I'm obsessed
There might be an obsession present
Situation was misread
A misunderstanding occurred in the situation
Wasn't your fault, I'm just weird right now
I recognize it wasn't your fault; I'm experiencing personal issues
I'm just weird
I'm feeling peculiar or different
I feel weird right now
I'm currently experiencing a sense of strangeness
When my parents cry
Reiteration of parental tears
They cry over that thing I did
Parents cry due to something I've done, and I remain emotionally detached
I don't feel anything
I continue to lack emotional reaction to their tears
