Cry of a Wounded Soul
I do not cry. I smirk or grin
While staring in the face of life;
So many ugly things I've seen,
So much misfortune, pain, and strife.
While staring in the face of life;
So many ugly things I've seen,
So much misfortune, pain, and strife.
I hate her, cruel and unfair,
This life that plays me like a toy,
But no, ma'am: even in despair
My tears you never will enjoy.
We come, we're played, and then we die.
Where are you, God, in all this game??
I do not cry... Well, it's a lie.
I weep inside, the same.
PS. I wrote this poem a couple of years ago when I was in an ongoing tough situation, and the world seemed black. I am happy to report that I do see some colors in it today. :)
