It's Okay To Cry

It’s alright, I’ll take a deep breathe.
Let those sobs out of my chest.
It’s ok to cry; because once I’m done I’m free to fly.
I know it’s hard now, I know it hurts. I know how badly I’ve been worked, just how badly I’ve been spurned, and how badly I was hurt. 
I’ll leave my tear stains on my blue sleeveless shirt.

But that’s ok, like I said, I’m alright.
Because, in a while, I’m going to fly.
My smile will be huge and wide
And my pain will leave me in a sigh
My heart shall be my lullaby. 

So it’s alright, I’ll take a deep breathe.
Let those sobs out of my chest.
It’s ok to cry; because once I’m done I’m free to fly.

That's right. No thoughts. Just free flowing tears followed by a weak sense of exhaustion I'll call relaxation. Very reassuring piece, Daniexelle! Interesting name. Then again, most names are a lot more interesting than Brittany lol <3

That's actually a funny story HAHA and it makes a lot of sense because now you've incorporated your unique name into your character :p

Thank you. =) And, I've always liked Brittany as a name. XD I used to hate mine growing up, because it was mispronounced all the time. But, the older I get, the more I like it. Danielle with an X. lol I sometimes feel I wouldn't be the fun loving person I am if that X wasnt in my name. :D
