Sometime I Cry... Poem by Farhana Abdullah

Sometimes when I’m alone
I cry because I’m lonely and on my own
The tears I cry are bitter and warm
They flow with life but take no form of it
I cry because my heart is torn
And I find it difficult to carry on

If I had an ear to confide in
I would cry among my treasured friends
But who do you know that stops along the way to help another carry on

The world moves fast and it would pass you like you’re invisible
And it won’t halt to see what makes you cry so hard
It’s painful and sad, that’s why I cry

Sometimes I cry

And no-one cares why.
