Cry
is there some unwritten law
that states crying is wrong
can we not cry in public
for all to see
is it wrong to show emotion
whenever we feel raw
can we cram it into a song
and leave it be
do we need all these walls
to cry behind closed doors
whats wrong with the world
are you trying to act strong
this is no life for me
to bottle anguish
inside for all but me to see
no one needs to feel alone
just remember
you'll always have friends that care
so cry your weights worth in tears
don't bottle it in and implode
lighten the burden you bear
by lowering your defences
and let your friends hear
