Cowgirl Poem by Allysyn Bryant

I heard a song
It said, “cowgirls don’t cry”
How I wish I could be a cowgirl
So that these tears would be gone
And maybe so would this aching pain
Cowgirls don’t cry
Surprising me with this wish
Normally I’m happy with myself
I know who I am and where I stand
It’s strange to me this wish
Of wanting to never cry
I don’t understand, but one thing I do
Cowgirls don’t cry
If I was a cowgirl
I’d be too busy to cry
I’d be working on the farm or ranch
Forget the outside world
And maybe for once
I won’t remember
Cuz cowgirls don’t cry
