Ok To Cry

It is ok to cry...

The day I finally did
was the day I saved my life.

Hot angry tears fell...turning
my day into a tropical storm...
As my thoughts wore angry faces
making me remember painful things

Tears that were 20 years in the making fell
In an epic Torrent
that washed my eyeliner all the way down
to my lips...
I did not expect to feel that way...
sitting there
listening to some Janis Joplin

I had no idea I was so hurt...
until Phyllis Hyman started
reading pages from my soul...
and Hendrix Guitar left haunting images
Of My Past... sprawled across
The front lawn of my mind....

Yeah...
I realized...
It's definitely
Ok to cry...
As tears fell in
a cathartic stream...

I now knew...
there was much I had not let go of,
but there was much I had saved...
Just by letting go... of a few tears

yep...
I am convinced...
It is really
Ok
To
Cry...

As Killing me Softly trails in the background...
