Is It Okay To Cry? Poem by Anhelica Velasqsuez

Im still tryin to be strong
Not shed a single tear
As long as I say it
I can do it

The salty liquid pools in my eyes
You still love me
I know it
I love you
But I just cant show it

I want someone to hug me
While I cry on their shoulder
But is it ok to cry?
Or is it just a way to show your weak?

My nose burns and my chest is tight
I don’t wanna go to bed tonight
Ill dream of you
And all I’ll wanna do
Is cry

My knees wont hold me up any more
And now my tired eyes are sore
My heart aches and my hand
Grips the key around my neck
My headhurts and I wanna cry
But is it ok? To cry?

I only thought for a moment
For a moment was all my mind had
I let my knees collapse
And I sat on the floor
I didn’t care anymore,

It is ok to cry,
Maybe not in public
But it is ok to cry
It’s the reason why
God blessed us with tears
He knew we would use them
Year after year

As I sat in the floor
I let the sea of tears
Flow down my cheeks
When I was done I didn’t
Feel emotions anymore
That was it - I was just there
Yes its ok to cry

So maybe I will dream
Then maybe life wont seem so bad…
