Please teach me to how to cryA
-
Though pain has all but severed my SoulB
and made me beg to die the impregnableC
shield that guards my emotions won't releaseD
the fluid that's built up over the yearsE
that bittersweet ocean of salty white wineF
-
I remember as a small child how I wept atG
almost everythingH
-
Though in some instances the action that triggeredI
my tears may have been mild I still felt relievedJ
after releasing my anguish in a flood of abandonmentK
that somehow seemed to extinguish Anger and Pain'sE
self destructive firesE
-
But over many years Society and countlessE
insecure and angry adults told begged noL
forced me to suppress my painful feelingsE
That's right boy you'd better bring thoseE
silly tears to a haltM
-
They'll do you no good in a football game orN
or out on the battlefield of Life NietscheO
wrote What does not destroy me makes meP
stronger but his mind had long since flown whenQ
he finally died of loneliness and strifeR
-
I want to destroy the dam I want to release myA
tears Society and a thousand rifles pointed atG
my skull can't hold them back this time as theyS
have so painfully these many dark yearsE
-
Then finally like a long lost brother that'sE
returned home to stand by my side tears begin toT
run down my cheek cooling my face and flushing myA
skin performing that spiritual cleansing to healU
my wounds yet another time once againQ
-
Such sacred love pain seems to bring whenQ
acknowledged and let out in the air but bottle itV
up inside you and die a thousand horrid deathsE
-
No more For me blessed tears you'll alwaysE
be thereW
