Makes Me Cry Poem by Melody McKinstrie

Feeling something
So deep
It makes you cry
Or is that just me?
My emotions
Getting the better
Of me
In that moment.?

It happens
When I see
So many things.
After all
I am human
It is natural
Or is it being
A woman
My curse
And my blessing?

A baby's smile
Someone in pain
So opposite
But to me
They hit the button
In the back
Of my mind
Of tear production.

When and if
I ever lose
This ability to feel
Something so deep
I think I will
Begin the process
Of shedding
My humanity
Like a skin.

But I wonder
If once lost
I will ever be able
To grow
Another one again.
