Let me cry

Do you know that it’s better for me to cry?

And from my tears, I shouldn’t shy

It’s not healthy to bury sorrow inside

And my tears from everyone hide.

Tears can ease my pain,

Speak out what I fail to explain.

Watch me shed a tear or two

Allow me to share my emotions with you.

Let me express my grief.

It gives me some relief.

So please stop telling me not to cry

Now that you understand why.
