Okay to cry

Scream out loud till you lose your voice.
Cry till your head aches and all you need is to rest.
Don't cut, no bleeding.
All you should do is cry it all out till your heart feels light.
Scream, don't hold back, let your voice be heard and your pain recognized
How long? How long? I know you wonder too,
Perhaps till you feel better if there's ever a possibility of that happening.
But don't stop, don't stop, to hold it in and pretend is even more deadly than death.
