    When is it "Not Okay" to cry?

    When you've been betrayed by someone that you trust?
    Or when your so sad that your hearts about to bust?
    When everyone is looking, and expecting you to break?
    Or the day that you got the news and searched for an escape...
    It's "Not Okay" to cry..
    When all around you seems like the walls are closing in..
    When after all the kindness you've put out,
    And you still can't find a single friend..
    When all bills are due and the monies all gone..
    Every plan you tried to put into action,
    Seems to have all gone wrong!
    It's "Not Okay" to cry..
    When death knocks at your door and takes your loved one..
    When your car is repossessed and your strength is all spun..
    When your dog dies, and your cat got hit by a truck..
    If it weren't for bad things you wouldn't have "ANY" luck!
    It's "Not Okay" to cry..
    Because your day is coming, and the season's almost here..
    You'll be full of love and you'll be spreading lots of cheer !!
    Your ship will come in and your dock will be ready !
    You'll be dining on steak and lobster and no more spaghetti !
    That's why it not okay to cry !!
    To many people watching, that also want to die..
    You've got to suck it up and be the champion that you are..
    You're someones hero and your closely watched from afar..
    So keep these words in mind and don't let them get away..
    What I've just told you will come to pass one day..
    You'll be glad you didn't cry and give up and quit..
    Because now you see you've stood your ground..
    And didn't fall into life's pit...

    Very deep words. Wish I knew your age, it would help me relate. Loved the rhyme form, I always prefer it. Also like that you leave us on a happy note, not forlorn. Wonderful inspirational piece for people. Write on.....
