Cry...

i try to keep strong...

pretending everything is fine...

but sometimes it's hard to smile...

hiding feelings i have inside...

i listen to Mariah, and feel her "through the rain"...

then i put on Celine, asking "where is the love"...

and then Whitney comes on, she helps me with the pain...

she sings "i look to you", and i too... look up above...

i feel all bottled up, holding in so much...

it's too overwhelming no matter how hard i try...

i just close my eyes and take a long deep breath...

just let it all go, and let myself...

cry...

interesting how we can be so sad, then listen to a very sad love song and instead of feeling worse, we feel better, knowing someone else has been there and also felt the pain.

this rains nice wording.

Oh yes... Music does help to heal the soul... But can also work vice versa... But you know what actually made me feel better ? ... Writing out my feelings and creating a heartfelt poem like this one :-)

[Baby Ricochet]

Nice rhythm and rhyme. Great job N!

I love how you incorporated the songs. This whole scenario is so wildly relatable. Just listening to sad music, to match your feelings, then finally letting yourself cry. Very nice!

well im sooo glad that you find it widely find it relatable... for a moment there... i thought i was the only one.. hihi... :-)

[Anita Harris]

Oh no way! I believe everyone, whether they admit it or not, goes through that moment where they're just heartbroken and need to listen to those sad songs and have a good cry. It's just human! :)
