It's Ok To Cry
When all that's around
seems awkward with trouble.
When people surround you
and make you work double.
When all you can think of
is why do they pry.
When words seem to fail you
it's ok to sigh.
When all that surrounds you
is hopelessness and sad.
When some people harm you
they treat you so bad.
When they leave you so lonely
and tell you a lie.
When no thought seems to comfort
it's ok to cry.
When tears sting the lonely
and your empty heart aches.
When the question you ask
is why my heart breaks.
When friends reach a hand to you
once more you ask why.
When you sit there and wonder
it's ok to cry.
When you ask yourself why again
your heart full of fear.
When all around you hurts so
just too much too bear.
When you need help understanding
you know you must try.
When nothing else helps you
it's ok to cry.
