I cry

January 31, 2020

I cry for the words never said

I cry for the voices never heard

I cry for the ears who never listened

I cry for the people who never cared

I cry for the people drowning in their fears

I cry for the kids scared to go home

I cry for the parents who don’t know their children

I cry for the souls who was given up on

I cry for the harsh words thrown around

I cry for the punches being thrown

I cry for the kids who are black and blue

I cry for the insults being given out

I cry for the kids who go unnoticed

I cry for the kids who don’t know love

I cry for the hearts that were broken

I cry for the silent falling apart

I cry for the despair that claims us all

I cry for the ones who feel no other way out

I cry for those who say “goodbye”

I cry for those who scream “please don’t leave me”

I cry for the kids who hide under the blankets to keep the “monsters” away

I cry for those who feel lost

I cry for those found on the bathroom floor, barely breathing

I cry for those who still hold on

I cry for the love that was lost

I cry for the bitter hatred

I cry for those who were claimed by the Reaper

I cry for those who keep fighting

I cry for the anxiety that haunts us all

I cry for the depression that has claimed this society

I cry for the stereotypes that hurt today’s youth

I cry for the disorders that holds us in a choke hold

I cry for a twisted society

I cry for a dark world

I cry for a unforgiving life

I cry for the forgotten and the remembered

I cry for me

I cry for them

I cry for us

I cry for you
