When I see a romantic moment or a young child cry
A hero succeed or a person die
When someone faces incredible hardship but manages to get out on top
or falls on their face with a horrific flop
When a survivor stands alone and left to mourn
when a prize is won, when a baby is born
when there is injustice and I feel something not right
when there are 2 people and their "ships pass in the night"
when I am so angry that I tremble and shake
when something frightens me making me quiet and quake
when I feel all alone or riddled with guilt and shame
when I did something selfish or unkind and a part of me is to blame
The fat burning tears fall and left to dry
These are just some of the things that make me cry
sometimes I wish I wasn't so weak
it makes the world around me seem so bleak
The full emotion hits like a brick
Maybe I should ignore it... maybe that's the trick
