I don't recall the context behind this poem whatsoever, but according to my docs, my last edit of it was Oct 7 2017 meaning I probably wrote it in the months before that. Anyways, tell me what emotions are invoked by the poem. Happy reading.


I cry

For the people who go through physical pain,

For the people who go through emotional pain,

For the people who go through mental pain,

And for those who experience all three

So strongly,

They are brought to their knees.


I cry

For those who feel helpless

In changing what their life has become;

Who feel as if

The world would be a better one

If they were gone.


I cry

For those who have the ability

To change outcomes

But are stuck

Waiting

"'Til the right time comes."


I cry

For those who feel that they are alone

In this painfully beautiful world

That we call home.


I cry

For nations around our planet

Fighting as though the devil planned it

Killing fellow humans and themselves

To satisfy the thirst of nations

As far away as other realms.


I cry

For the elderly

For adults

For youth

For teens

For children

For infants.


I cry

For people


Like me.
