Why I Cry
I cry cause I’m mad
I cry cause I’m sad
I cry because I’m locked up
This s**t make me want to
throw up
This place I will never see
again
That’s why I will never cry
again

Repeating the word ‘cry’ certainly gives your poem a lot of emotion.
Well done.
Crying isn’t a bad thing and it is good to let your emotions out. Living in a cell is very mentally and physically draining, but try and think of the positive. Work hard to improve yourself so you can get out of jail and be the best person you can be. Building yourself up for the future will help you a lot in the long run. You got this!

It sounds like a tough situation, but I really liked how you ended it with never wanting to cry again because you don’t want to be in rough situations again! Great writing style and I hope you continue writing!
