You Don't Need Onions to Cry

Don't be ashamed of those falling tears

Don't be ashamed of those hidden fears

You wipe those tears, cover those scars

Sometimes cages have no bars


You don't need onions to cry

You don't need wings to fly

Sorrow is something we all feel

Don't act like those feelings aren't real


They say they understand, but no one really can

With nothing else to do, you hid or you ran

But it doesn't have to be that way

Different feelings are no cause to stray


You don't need onions to cry

You don't need to ask why

Sorrow is something we all feel

Don't act like those feelings aren't real


So, don't give up, don't keep it inside

You don't need to stay, in your own feelings, tied

No one should have to face it alone

These problem aren't only your own


You don't need onions to cry

Sadness comes to all under the sky

Sorrow is something we all feel

Don't act like those feelings aren't real


So, yeah. . .I told my little sister to give me a random word and she said onions, and I made this. Basically it was a Saturday morning and I was bored and had nothing to do so I just wrote poems like crazy, I think a third of the poems on here are just from that one morning, but who knows?
