Crying
by Joan SerratelliI cannot stop
crying
no matter
what I do
I cry
over everything
and anything
that's just
what I do
I cry
when I'm happy
I cry
when I'm sad
I cry
when I'm frustrated
I cry
when I'm mad
They say
that crying
is good
it rids the body
of toxins
it makes you
feel good
I cry
in the morning
I cry at noon
I cry
in the evening
that's just what I do
People just
don't understand
It's who I am
and
it's what I do 03/15/2009 Author's Note: I've always been a crier. It's not good; it's not bad- it's just me.

| Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 03/15/09 at 06:17 PM i used to cry when i got embarrassed and mad...but somewhere over the years, the tears dried up. i like the sing-songy tone to this one. |

"It's who I am", i like that line. No matter who or what you are it's important to accept yourself for it. |

| Posted by Rowan Luis on 06/27/10 at 08:23 PM crying is wonderful and fascinating and i do it all the time, more people should freely cry. i believe it does get rid of toxins and excess stress chemicals, we do it for a reason, and those who hardly ever cry or stop themselves from crying, in my experience, end up feeling worse |
