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...

wow! This is very powerful, using song titles helped with the imagery alot. Keep it up :) Project Fatalist are who I listen to to feel happy :)

[N!LoC]

Ooo thanks ! I'm definately gonna google them now :-)

[Sam Gregory]

You took a very creative route with this poem, and it worked. Sometimes music (which is oftentimes poetry playing to a melody) is the most healing of avenues available to us!

[N!LoC]

yeah it is... and those 3 divas i mentioned are the trifecta of inspiration for me ... especially when it comes to the lovey dovey stuffs :-)... what would i do without them ... (sigh)

[KAOlmsted]

I am not a fan of any of those singers so I'll pass on the links, but it's quite clever you included them...

You know, sometimes we just need a damn good cry. Well done, N...

[N!LoC]

[KAOlmsted]
