Sitting With the Tears

I’m crying and not sure why
 
sitting here listening to
 
Jimmy Buffett of all things
 
I guess it takes me back to a
 
simpler time
 
When my toughest decision was
 
how many used cd’s to buy
 
And not should I cut off
 
one of my breasts or
 
two
 
But at least I have the choice
 
and I have the chance
 
to fight
 
Which is more than a lot of
 
people can say
 
So, I will sit with
 
the tears
 
And thank God that
 
I’m alive
 
to be crying them
