If this is not a place where tears are understood,
Then where shall I go to cry?
And if this not a place where my spirit can take wings,
Then where shall I go to fly?

I don't need another place for tryin' to impress you
With just how good and virtuous I am, no, no, no,
I don't need another place for always being on top of things.
Everybody knows it's a sham, it's a sham.

I don't need another place for always wearing smiles
Even when it's not the way I feel.
I don't need another place to mouth the same-old platitudes.
Everybody knows that's not real.

So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked
Then where shall I go to seek?
And if this is not a place where my heart's cry can be heard,
Then where shall I go to speak?
And if this is not a place where tears are understood,
Where shall I go, oh, where shall I go to cry?

Thank you for posting this - the words touched me as well - so many people lately IRL seem to be telling me they thought I had it "all together" - well I don't - I don't think any of us really do.
