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

    The last two lines of your poem are very powerful. Thanks for sharing your writing for others to read.

    Repeating the word ‘cry’ certainly gives your poem a lot of emotion.
    Well done.
