Reasons I Cry Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Men often make me their promises
yet others offer chocolates and roses
recite poetry and sing sweet love songs
and suddenly leave you with a broken heart.

Caring friends turned traitor
having them don't insure loyalty
everytime I am near they are good
reality is they backbite me sometimes
rarely today one finds a true best friend
yearning for one can only break your heart.

People I work with put me down
as though I am a threat to their interest
simply I do my best in carrying out my duties
performing not to compete but to be efficient
effective in what I do, yet they only break my heart.
