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 trying 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 friends do.
But when you turn around, no one is there with you.

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