You

We know how you feel, but can you really expect us to have time to listen?

You laugh.

It’s easier to laugh

Why try to show the pain

Nobody wants to see the pain

Just keep it all inside

Inside your sad, dark heart

Don’t try to burden us

It’s just easier that way

 

You cry.

Why do you have to cry?

We don’t have time to stop and listen

Listen to how you feel

Just let us keep moving

Onto more important things

Maybe if you just listen to yourself

You’ll see why we don’t have time

 

You turn away.

We don’t know where you went

Did you really have to leave?

We really need you here

It’s hard to think of your pain

The pain that we turned away

Just return to us again

Maybe we’ll have time to listen

Life's not so intricate, people activities make a life tangled. There's really no need to cry, there's even not a worth of emotions in the life, you've to face life, face the reality in the life of grapple people. You've to live every moment of life and should make the memory's thereby future could become glaring living. That's all what i gotcha from here the piece. Well structured write, it's reallly very creatively inked into the powerful words of peace making people motivate, aware about life to live the rest of the time happily. Nice message you've demonstrated through the poem. It's An excellently designed poem.
