It's Okay To Cry
its okay to cry
for those who lay lifeless in the soil
no daisy’s to push
its okay to cry
for those killed by loved ones
forced behind the gun
eyes tainted
their life raped
abducted into war
for those who hide in darkness
behind a pretty façade
or a fun house mirror
shoving reality in her pocket
its okay to cry
but cry with your heart
let it weep and leak down cheeks
a stream that runs true
let the blood red tears
fall
stain the earth
a voice for those with no tongue
for those lost
in screaming silence
its okay to cry for blood stained
ghosts
never
is it okay to cry
for your own
selfish
self.

I wrote this because at school there was an assembly for the invisible children and it really inspired me. I thought about the petty reasons i cry and thought i really shouldnt pout so much over little things... anyways i got a glimpse of whats going on over there and really thought about the reasons people should really " cry " about. And how its important to let these types of things be known and do something about them. This poem means a lot to me and its my way of supporting(:
