Don’t Cry

by Jessica, age 15

Don’t cry anymore baby
Dry your eyes and
Pick yourself up off the floor

He may be gone darlin
But he’s not worth your tears.
He was your everything
But to him
You didn’t mean a thing.

So pick yourself up off the floor.
Come on baby
Don’t cry anymore
He’s not worth
All your heartache and tears.

He was your confidence
But he was also your fears.
Just think sweetie
His goodbye means
No more lies.
So baby
Don’t cry anymore.
