The Best Poem Of Susie Smith

I Cry

I cry

And the tears stream down my face

Leaving paths of salt

Upon my rosy complexion

These tears today

Are not for myself

But for those we have lost.

I cry

For all those who battled

For all those who fought off

The demons

And the hatred.

I cry

For those who felt

Like they could not carry on

For those

Who were forced to be strong

For far too long

I cry

Knowing that there are people

Who could still be here

If the world had more love,

More acceptance,

More compassion.

I cry

For our society

And how it’s filled with hatred

Those who are different are

Shunned,

Hidden,

Punished

For something out of their control

I cry

For the young kids

Who go to school

Just to be harassed and beaten

For those kids

Who become afraid

Of the world around them

To the point

Where they cannot face life on earth.

I cry

For those still battling

Who use every ounce of strength

To make it through the day

Who try to be normal

And appear stable

To hold themselves together

While inside a war is raging on

I cry

For all of those I’ve lost

Friends,

Relatives,

Peers

Knowing they’re never coming back

Due to the pain

That life handed them.

I cry

Knowing that the pain won’t stop

Knowing that life

Will continue onward

Despite the tragic losses

I cry

But I know

Somewhere deep inside me

That we all can step up and help

We all can reach out

Hold on

And pull someone to safety

With a smile,

With a joke,

With a friendly ear
