once I cry
everyone listens
to my story
who am I
how am I
the minute
I speak up
they say I've given up
or to loud for some
or for others love
once I cry show
iv had enough
yet they imply why
won't I do or try
even when this all
should be enough
for them to get by
not just off of me or on me
my simple yet silent cry
