Unveiling Hidden Sorrows: The Heartbreaking Truth Behind Shannen Wrass’s “Time Out To Cry”

Ever wonder what hides behind that radiant smile when the world thinks life is just peachy? This piece dives deep—peeling back the facade to reveal the quiet turmoil that strikes when the day folds into night. It’s astonishing how—a little past ten, under the evening’s brief spell—a girl, seemingly untouchable and unshakable, finally confronts her raw, unvarnished reality. This isn’t just poetry; it’s an intimate spotlight on the lonely battles fought in shadows, where acting brave by day exacts a heavy toll on an ‘empty heart.’ You’ll find yourself questioning the masks we wear and the silent cries we stifle, yearning for promises and friendship that never quite arrive. It’s sobering, raw, and utterly relatable—an eloquent reminder that sometimes, the truth only surfaces when the world quiets down for the night… LEARN MORE

All alone at the end of the day
The time, just a little past ten
Evening has come for a short stay
It’s time for her sorrow again
The smile on her face she’s been holding
Suddenly, she lets fall
And the feelings begin unfolding
She comes out of her personal wall
As the world settles down for the night
She awakens herself from a dream
And the girl they all thought had her life going right
Is no longer the image she’d seem
She takes off the disguise she’s been wearing
Then opens her heart to the truth
Behind closed doors she’s not caring
About life or love in her youth
So she sits by the mirror spilling tears
And cries by herself in the dark
A whole day of acting like she has no fears
Takes a lot from an empty heart
Inside she’s lonely and sad
But acts like she’s fine in the day
Revealing her misery, secretly wishing she had
A friend, or a promise to stay
She’s ashamed of the truth she’s been keeping
Living her hours in daylight a lie
And this is the reason for in darkness she’s weeping
Taking time out from each day to cry
