Jeanna York Poet Lyric

Cry

Here I am a mess of emotions
Afraid to let them out
I don’t want to feel out of control
Yet I am not sure that there is any
Stopping that if I

Cry

In a room full of people 
And I still feel all alone
I miss my best friend
My shoulder to lean on
When I needed to 

Cry

I feel my eyes start to water 
I better go and hide 
I wouldn’t want anyone to see
The pain I feel inside
I don’t want them to see me

Cry

It’s going to be a long night 
That is for sure
Nightmare after nightmare
Why can’t the memories give me a little rest?
I feel so drained 
Weak and defeated 
I feel like I am fighting a never-ending battle
And I have the short end of the stick
I keep wondering if I am 
Always going to fight this alone
So many times I have been told
To let those teardrops fall
Yet here I am fighting them
Daring my self not to 

Cry

Even though in my heart I wish I could just let go
I wish I had someone 
To cry on
