It's ok to cry??

You say it's OK to cry
that it helps and I'll feel better
everybody does it you say?

well I'm not like everybody
perhaps I have a stronger will
or maybe I'm just stronger

I will not show I'm weak
by letting my tears spill
nor will I give them that satisfaction

I will not let them win
by showing them my inner pain
that would mean raising a white flag

I refuse to be like the rest
and shed some sobbing tears
I will be strong without it

I'm me and I refuse
I can deal without the waterworks
I will live without that minor luxury

unless you show me otherwise
my mind is made up, my feet are planted
I'm too strong to act as all the rest
