Poem: Sometimes I cry

by Tupac Shakur - from 'the rose that grows from concrete'

Sometimes I cry


Sometimes when I'm alone
I cry because I'm on my own
The tears I cry R bitter and warm
They flow with life but take no form
I cry because my heart is torn
and I find it difficult 2 carry on
If I had an ear 2 confide in
I would cry among my treasured friends
But who do u know that stops that long to help another carry on
The world moves fast and it would rather pass u by
Than 2 stop and C what makes you cry
It's painful and sad and sometimes I cry
and no one cares about why.
