I have the right to be sad
Whenever i want
Wherever i want
With a reason
Or without one
..
I have the right to shut myself up
for a day
or part of a day
With a reason
Or without one
..
I have the right to feel that tender feeling
That transparent affliction
To feel the warmth of a tear or two
And to feel the sense of a warm sigh
To suffer a lack of appetite for food,
For humans
For happiness
At any time
With a reason
Or without one
..
I have the right for sadness
At whatever time
Without feeling guilty
Without feeling the weight
Or burden
Or guilt
Without the others making me feel alienated
That’s because without that
I can’t continue..
To Live..
