I cried
I cried until I felt there was nothing left
And then I cried a little more
I cried until I was drained of tears
Until there was nothing left but twin trails
Of fine salt powder
One for each eye
I cried for no reason
For the simple joy of crying
Of being able to throw myself into complete insanity
And the sweet release of letting it all out
In one sobbing wail
Cries, and gasps wracking my body
And I couldn’t even stop
I cried for every reason there was
For everything I ever wanted
For everything I ever lost
For every love I ever knew
And for every person I ever met
Crying for all the pain in the world
That seemed to ball itself into a tight fist in my chest
Which could only be released on a wail
I cried because I was weak
I cried because I was too strong
I cried because I was beaten down
I cried because I couldn’t fight anymore
I cried because I knew that I must
I cried because I could
For every tear I shed
There were a thousand more
Until I was drowning in a sea of them
Cliché as it may be
It felt so true
All the pain dripped away
In every tiny drop
Until all that was left to cry for
Was simply because it felt good
Please tell me what you think

oh god i've felt like this before! Just sometimes you have to cry so you can feel better. Even if you're not sad. Emotions are better out there, not bottled up. I think everyone can honestly say they've felt like this before.
The last verse seems like a stand alone poem too.

Thanks. I had a bit of a breakdown yesterday and started crying for no reason, and yet for so many reasons... and it just felt sooo good, I had to write about it.
