"Why Can't I Cry?"


Why can’t I cry,

Because it’s an emotional deny.

Why are these emotional needs,

Not receiving adequate expertise.

 

Why can’t I cry,

I did not want them to die.

Why these physical problems

When we have the knowledge.

 

Why can’t I cry,

When something is awry.

I’m heartbroken beyond words,

Still, I continue to keep records.
