Good Cry

Let it all out have a good cry
I won't rush to wipe those tears dry
Unload your sadness it's a start
Unburden so your heavy heart

Melancholy is for the birds
Express your feelings into words
Talk it over and you'll find out
Better days lie ahead no doubt

I love that line -- 'Melancholy is for the birds.' Write it large on every teenager's and every struggling artist's message board!! So true! If you have troubles, talk to someone. Great write, Line! :) gw
