Because I cry,

     it does not mean
     I am weak.

It does not make me sensitive
to anything other than
                         life itself.

I have strong feelings.

     I attach meaning to
     each notion I have.

Emotions,
like afflictions,
are a dime a dozen.

The cost is not always obvious.

     It is a price I pay

                     in tears.
