Poetry

If you're one of those folks that think that all poems need to rhyme, I'm sorry. In any case, this is a simple collection of poems. A few of them rhyme. But most of them don't.

I do not always smile

Because I feel happy.

I smile because it

Makes others happy.

I do not always cry

Because I feel sad.

I cry because

Others are sad.

I do not always feel calm

Because I want to be.

I am calm because

Someone must be.

But I feel anger

Because I am angry.

I feel anger,

Because it is my own.

I do feel fear

Because I am afraid.

Because fear is mine

To overcome myself.

And sometimes I cry

Because I feel happy.

Because I can't help

But cry with joy.
