Why I Cry

By: Lorinda McCall-Owens

What does it mean when I am on my knees and I cry,

No know hears, so I ask myself, why.

I cry through the hurt and the pain,

I cry through all I’ve been through,

It’s hard to tell what I feel,

What am I suppose to do.

I do not know who to talk to, so I hold the pain inside,

The more I cry, my tears is what I cannot hide.

After all of the tears, what will be done?

I just wish that my life can be fun.

No one understands how I just want it all to go away,

It’s hard and painful; I just want to wake up to another day.

It seems as if no one has anything to say.

What do I do with all that is around?

Who do I go to when my life is going down?

I want to go to someone that is able to hear

As I cry more each day, this pain is what I can’t bear.

I cry because there’s no help, no love just pain, no smile

Who will understand?

I wish someone could because I have been crying for a while.
