Description
Is it alright to cry
Fresh from the womb
When you are the apple
Of every eye in the room

A little wail
Is never repremanded
With anything less
Than a small bottle handed

Is it alright to cry
When you've just learned to walk
Fallen flat on your back
After perilous stalk

With mother and father
There to comfort your pain
Your sobs never bother
They never complain

Is it alright to cry
On your first day of school
When nap time is over
And you've broken a new rule

No one ever would dare
Turn their back on a child
So young, unprotected
Still thoughtless and wild

Is it alright to cry
When your grandfather dies
When the same salty tears
Fill everyone's eyes

Holding on to memories
Just tinged with regret
'Let her nose run,
She's not grown yet.'

Is it alright to cry
When a friend is just gone
No goodbye, no apology
Simply 'moved on'

When you wipe your eyes
And think back on those years
Suddenly this becomes
Your greatest fear

Is it alright to cry
When you just feel alone
When, by medical standards,
You are full grown

When people have troubles
And no times for yours
And you just want to talk
But they say you're a bore

Is it alright to cry
When you're addicted
To something so good
But at the same time, wicked

You've made your mistakes
And exausted your story
Those 'fake tears' are seen
As an attempt for glory

Is it alright to cry
Tell me, when should I stop?
I'll just lock it away
Soak them up with a mop

Is it alright to cry
When you're all that I need
But with this pain you keep causing
I'd rather just bleed
