Cry Me A River

Cry a river and build a bridge to get over it.
When do I build the bridge?
After crying, or before?
They say, “You’re such a crybaby”
“Don’t throw tantrums”
“You’re so sensitive”
Do they know that I know already?
Do they think they are the first to say so? I know I am a temperamental, sensitive, crier.
Do they know that I think there is something wrong with me this way? Crying isn’t weakness.
At least, that’s what they “say”.
