“Why We Cry”: a Poem

The world as it is,

never as it should.

Puts down people,

even good.

But despite the tears

we stand up tall.

And fight back

with all

united we stand.

Against ourselves

wallowing in the silence,

but one will never tell.

Because behind the silence we truly see

that the one alone is you, not me.
