Wanda Mckinney Poet Rhyme

Refreshing

I can't help but to cry sometimes,

Even though I try my best in being strong.

I try my best in holding my emotions all inside

I can't break down, I must try and remai strong.

But there are days when I get off to myself,

And I'm alone, quiet, and still.

I break down and allow myself 

To release all of the pinned-up emotions that I feel.

Try as I might in not allowing the burdens of this here world,

To get the better of me, but sometimes it ends up doing so.

Brave as I try to be, deep down inside I'm just afraid little girl

That yearns so much to be told.

That it's okay to cry becaus crying will make m feel much better,

That I don't have to feel that I've got to keep on being strong always.

That whatever things people may say about shouldn't matter

God's going to take care of me and make everything okay.

Like the majestic mighty Mississippi River I allow my tears to flow,

I cry until I feel I can't cry any more.

All of the things that's been bothering me, I just let it all go

The reasons of me stressing exists no more.

After I've had myself a good cry my tears then finally cease,

A wave of a refreshing feeling comes over me.

Through more optimistic eyes I'm abe to see things more clearly

And to handle my circumstances more differently.
