How Many Times Have I Cried


Do you know how often I cry?
I cry three times a day
I cry once when I wake up
because I made it to a new day
I cry once in the middle of the day
Because I am frustrated or in an argument
I cry once before I go to sleep
Because I don't want to wake up to tomorrow

I may often not want to see tomorrow
But I always do

What really are tears?
Just salt water leaking from my eyes.
It's as easy as sweating

Someone once tried to tell me
That crying showed that I was weak
But I beg to differ
Crying has made me stronger
Crying is a new beginning
Crying is a release
A release of anger and happiness
Or whatever else comes my way

If I could cry for every person I would
I would cry for seven seas
Just to make another feel better

From you
All I need is a smile
