  Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
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.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.

it would be way better without the last two lines... it flows so perfectly thought that the end sounds so choppy

Cant believe some of the negative comments. I will say that I am white and find Tupac as a huge inspiration. Tupac achieved more in 25 years than most people would achieve in 3 of his lifetimes. To the people writting the hateful comments maybe u should listen to some of his music and you might learn something. Go do something with your life other than adding more negativity to the world. You may not like him but just know that his words have had a much bigger impact on the world than you ever will. The media portrayed him as something evil just because he was never afraid to tell how the world really is. Anytime somebody tries to make a difference and fights for what he believes in, there will always be people who dont like it. That is why his music got labeled as 'gangster rap' not because he was a bad person.

this is honestly one of my favourite poems,
rest easy ghee;
and to all them haters, psssht...
tupac achieved a lot in his short-lived life;
he changed the way people thought and encouraged them to do more with their lives by relating to the same problems and struggles in which he also encountered,15 years on and his music is still working its magic with the younger generations. so tell me; what have you achieved?

@ CS, stick with the poems that start 'There once was a man from Nantucket' and maybe you won't be so disappointed. I for one thought this was very introspective for a rap artist, I'm impressed.
