The Cry

"THE CRY" -RELIEF OR HAPPINESS Ha Ha Ha I’m way over that Yes I’m over the cry that tried to ruin me Me, a child of God with so many promises, hopes and dreams Trying to make me forget who I am Destroying all I’ve seen, known and come to understand With constant tear drops, bitter and without an end Drowning my heart, my mind and everything I’d want to defend Creating a new me while taking all I got Oh was this cry ever going to stop? I reminisce on the day it tried to take me over Faking my smiles, watering my eyes and me it tried to devour There were so many things I needed to do, oh there was so much But the strength that once drenched my bones was no felt; not even in a touch It left me in an instance, the moment I embraced the cry Leaving my frail old body gloomy and dry And so I felt like nothing, nothing at all But a big grey castle holding nothing but brick walls Oh but here I am: here I now stand Free from all chains and standing as a man For now I proudly and boldly embrace a new cry One that comes with sweet feelings, joyful tear drops and a feel to try With chills in my bones and butterflies deep within I’m free from the cry that walks behind sin Yes I want to sing; oh yes I want to shout Oh world here I am; a new man of worth So farewell old cry that wanted to steal The love, joy and the peace that has now been revealed NICKO JOHNSON
