Sometimes You Cry

When you're caught in the crossfire of his despair...

Sometimes you cry. 

When you get beaten down verbally because he doesn't know what else to do with his pain...

Sometimes you cry. 

When you're walking uphill all day long and you're still in the same place you started...

Sometimes you cry.
When you feel lost in a familiar place...
Sometimes you cry. 

When it seems like you just can't do enough, but you're giving your all...

Sometimes you cry
When you want to see a smile and all you see is sadness...

Sometimes you cry. 

In moments when you should be happy ...

sometimes you cry.
When you want to run, but you can't hide...
Sometimes you cry.
When it seems like there are no answers, only more questions
Sometimes you cry.
When the people who are supposed to help are making matters worse...
Sometimes you cry.

And then you wake up in the morning and try again.
And then you kick some ass.
And then ...you laugh because you have no more tears.
And then you see progress...
And you cry tears of pride and joy.
