Why i cry ?

I am crying now.
I don't know why.
Am i supposed to know
why it is i cry ?
I always feel relief and solace
when the tears run dry.

When i cry
I am afraid I'll die
I haven't yet
But still I dread the moment
when the stony dam of fear
can no longer bear the weight
of these tears I need to cry

Perhaps the reason why I cry
is that the earth beneath my feet
needs to taste the freedom
that these tears will bring.

I am crying still
for no reason that i know.
I pray these mournful tears
might wash away the pain
of whatever has been done
and that which I may do.
