Notes About The Poem

Go Ahead and Cry

Go Ahead And Cry

Times when understanding
is just too much to bear.
Things going on inside of you
there's just no way to share.

Fear and doubt prevailing
against all that ever mattered.
Even all your dreams it seems
have all but almost shattered.

Temporary upsets
and feelings in your heart.
As you try to hold together
what's left to fall apart.

Times like that you wonder
why it is you even try.
Sometimes all you really need
is to go ahead and cry.

Letting go of all those things
trapped inside your mind.
When your giving up believing
there is peace that you can find.

When troubles all surround you
and each chance that you take.
Seems like a road to nowhere
except one more heartache.

When your friends all say
the things that all friends do.
But when you turn around
no one's there with you.

Wishing like a bird sometimes
to spread your wings and fly.
It's those times all you really need
is to go ahead and cry.
