UNEXPECTED TEARS

Following professional advice, I got myself off of one anti-depressant medication.

Side effects? 

Crying.

A lot.

Unexpectedly.

Part of me this thinks this is a spiritual awakening.

The bigger thought inside is that I've simply had my eyes open for too long without the tears to soften them.

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can



Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
