it’s okay to cry; a poem for reme

the smiles on your face

are ribbons for your wobbling feet

cheery words fall from your lips

but your heart is distant, cold

fear spreads its arms

building an ice in you

you freeze

still, you march

 

break, break now

i’ll fix you

fall, fall

take my arm

rise

let me walk with you

the ice makes you cold

 

come, come

step out of the cold now

here

take the sun

feel the warmth

 

cry, cry

purge

the ice melts

let the tears flow

now fly

to the sky

claim your star
