Don'T Cry... Poem by Derryn Whitaker

Come over here and talk to me
I can help if you're feeling blue
I can comfort and soothe your pain
Who cares if I'm sad too.

I can tell you it will work out
And that things will be alright
Never mind the pain I feel
As I fall asleep each night

If he has hurt your heart
And you think that he's the one
I can go and talk to him
It doesn't matter what I've become

If there is a problem in the home
Or if your friends have lied
Its not your problem that my eyes burn
From all the tears I've cried.

I can give a shoulder to cry on
And provide a caring ear
For you to pour your soul out
I'll take away any fear

But never mind my broken heart
Who cares if I want to die
It doesn't matter what I feel
As long as you don't cry
