I cry

A tear slowly runs down my cheek
I brush it away quickly so no one can see
Or atleast, I thought no one could
People begin to approach me
And they ask me....
"Why do you cry?"
There are so many different reasons
I don't know where to start
I try and explain

"I cry for lovers lost
For friendships forgotten
For my mother
And my long lost father
I cry for not only my heart
But every broken heart
For all those who cannot cry
For everyone who is lost
And doesnt know how to be found
I cry for those who are hurt
For everyone in pain
For the world as we know it
For people who wont change"

All I get is a blank stare
"You don't understand me,"
I speak to them quietly
"I cry for you....."

Hey,

    This is a really good poem, superb even. I think it's so good I will put it in my library. But one little bit of advice, a wize man once told me that if you put "please read" or something of that sort that some tend not to read it because its almost like saying that you poetry is more important than everyone elses. Just my 7 cents, until your next work

I enjoyed this, especially the ending.  And just a piece of info.  There is really no need to include please read in the title.  Most people will read them even if you dont include that.  As you can see, most poems get several replies.  Great poem though!

I liekd this one a lot. Well done here. The ending was powerful.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Maybe it's just me, but the "Please Read" in parens in the subject line totally ruined the poem for me... I didn't have the heart to enjoy it as many other people did, and hence I will come off as slightly more critical than I probably would have otherwise. ^_^  It was a good poem, but to me, it lacks a certain level of maturity...

This actually read better as prose than it did as verse for me... the line breaks seemed really unnatural. ^^;  I paused at each line break and it just seemed as though the line breaks didn't aid the flow all that much... it seemed as though it broke more naturally where there were no line breaks, if that even makes any sense... ^^;  Maybe it was just me... but I thought this poem seriously lacked real flow.

The simulated flow based on the prose-nature of the poem seemed to compensate a little bit, giving the poem a really interesting echo that probably is what is admired so much by everyone that has commented on it thus far. ^_^  I have to say that the simulation is far beyond anything that most people could manage... and I applaud you for it... as prose, this easily beats anything I could write.

The message is relatively sweet and touching to a point... it's altruistic in a way, but it's altruism in a relatively raw sense, without any real refinement. ^^;  Sort of like a person who's new to the idea of altruism and wants to try it out to see what it feels like, rather than someone who is really altruistic by nature.  "I cry for you..."  The question I asked immediately was, "Do you really?" rather than something less critical than that.

The ending, though powerful in its own right, gives the poem a very immature feeling, rather than one of innocence and real altruism... it seems as though the emotion which drives this poem really needs to be refined a bit, which would most certainly produce a masterpiece.  In its current state, however, it's just... something slightly less than that.  You certainly seem to be capable of more than this work has shown.

I did enjoy this piece, though, in case the critique seemed to say otherwise.  ^^  Perhaps I'm just being slightly critical when I need not be... but, please keep in mind that I really did enjoy the work. ^_^  I look forward to your future works, and hope you'll post again.  Until next time...

I thank you all for your replys, i will keep in mind to keep "please read" out of my next posts. Im not sure how i got the idea for that poem, or the flow, it just sort of came to me.  I wasnt trying to write a piece of art, infact, i came up with it in about 15 min, so if it seemed a little unrevised, that is probably why.  I am glad it hit home w/ so many of you, thank you again.

This poem is very touching to anyone's heart who has the passion for life that you seem to have. The way that you may have structured the poem other people may criticize it on, but its the words and the attitude of you as the writer I paid more attention to. You really touched people with this poem, but for the people that ask me to speak for myself...It was GREAT, very true to life. Keep it up.

This is a really beautiful poem.  It actually hit me straight in the heart.  We have similarities with the reasons why we cry.  Hope you start feeling better.  ~*hugs*~
