Day 9: 2016 National Poetry Month

Why I Cry



So many tears I've cried yet I'm not done.
Not because it's election year and dirty
Slings are part of the game. As people shun
And shame and play guilty games for country.

So many tears still welled up inside me
Not because people are so self-centered
That they can't put the cellphone down even
When someone is right there helping.

We all think of our own needs and not of others.
I'm no different with things I want to do
As I wished to see all the worldly offers
Instead of spending some time to visit you.

So now I cry for all I can never say
And I wished you had lived even just one more day.
