i cry

By

i cry.

i cry because 

i am often confounded

by this world

that we

live in. 

i cry at moments

of enlightenment,

at moments of fear,

at moments of hope.

i cry because

there is a sadness in me

that emerges unexpectedly,

i cry for loves lost

loves never found;

i cry

for moments of loneliness.

i cry for joy,

for hope,

for courage.

i cry for rage.

i cry for youth,

for stealth,

for poverty,

for wealth.

i cry for death,

i cry for life.

i cry for the babies 

that i’ve held

inside

and outside

of my body.

i cry for fear,

i cry for hope,

i cry because laughter

brings me to tears;

i cry for days

i cry for years.

i cry for sun

i cry for rain

i cry for joy

i 

cry

for

pain.
