SOMETIMES I DO CRY


Sometimes I Cry 

Sometimes when I'm alone I'' Cry'' 
For this pain to be gone , 
I ''Cry '' for all of us in our home. 
In the day I act as if everything  
Is going OK and I am strong and  
Can't be no other . 
Dived family of six with no love  
In our home , I had to be ''strong'' 
Even why I was only a little one , 
And now I am on my own. 
I ran from home and my life was already 
Cold of a ''nine year old ,'' 
The tears I ''Cry'' are bitter and warm. 
They flow with life but take no form , 
I ''Cry'' because my heart is torn. 
I find it difficult to carry on another load, 
I had no place to call my own , 
No place to call ''home ''  
If I had an ear to confide in I would be knocking 
At that ones door , 
I would'' cry ''among my treasured friend,  
but who do you know that stops that long,  
to help another carry on ? 
I walked in the dark most of my life why other 
Kept looking down more on my life , 
The world moves fast and it would rather pass me by. 
With no love in mind , 
They never stop and see what makes one ''cry's''   
So painful and sad is they way my life has always been. 
But now I am older my mind and body and soul 
Reawaken to brighter day of the truth that set me free 
Of the darken way of life . 
Even though I will have a lot to learn ,Who to trust and 
Who to love , But for now I just need to keep my heart 
On God that taken hold of a lost soul and made it new .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
