Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

I Cried a Lot Today

I went to YouTube 
Looking for the sunshine song
"You are my sunshine"
For my little sunshine
Then I ran into Johnny Cash
Then that song and his voice made me sad
Then I went to Google and read his story because I didn't know him
Then I was amazed
Then I listened to more of his songs
I cried with "ain't no grave"
And then I clicked "hurt"
And from there I was all tears
I couldn't stop listening to that song
I couldn't stop crying
I cried so much that my head hurt and became foggy
I worried so much that I called and woke my parents up
Very early in the morning just to check on them 
And then I continued listening to that song
Reading the comments below it
Crying some more
Until I slept

This has happened to me and you expressed it well: the unsolicited draw of a song that won't let you go ...
