[hometext] => will you cry when it is my time to die?
[bodytext] => When I cry I lay myself down to sleep I pray to the lord that I don’t make that final leap Over to the spiritual side So if I die before I wake I pray the lord will choose my soul to take Cos when I cry it’s for honest reasons That I can’t properly explain It may anger people, but all I can say is Misinterpretation is a part of the game Born into a family that nobody trusts It’s full of people whom backstab, cheat and lie Look at my facial expression, full of disgust My pulse racing, sending my pulse high I’m lucky I can watch from the outside in I hear you criticize each other, with your sniggering grins When is the peace and harmony going to begin? All of you make me feel emotionally ill No wonder I feel this way still I'll probably be an old man before I understand The differences you have with each other This is why I have to live my life With pen and paper close to hand I feel all the bad vibes you give each other It makes me feel sad, Thank god I can ink my emotions into this notepad Can’t you all just sit and take stock On what’s happening in your lives You got me sleeping with tear streams And in my dreams people screaming No one notices when a close relative feels down So what is the meaning, when I cry? Oh why, do I have to hide these feelings inside Deep in my tears on this pillow where I now lie My tears burn when I cry Dear lord... Oh why, does it have to be this way Let me hide behind a cold disguise Cos no one should hear me cry Dear God... oh why... Maybe my addiction to pain, anger and misery Got me acting a little strange Where is the love? To be honest I’m not concerned My life doesn’t need any kind of rearrange You may think well who do I blame For the suffering that I feel Well I’m all alone, no communication, don’t speak to anyone by phone When I was younger, I didn’t get along with my mum I sometimes wonder why my dad left, yeah he upped and gone Where did we go wrong? I’m putting my soul into this song To help us grow at times, we have to learn by our mistakes But my mind is too far gone We went from brothers and sisters, to faceless enemies We went from living close, to living away so far Now we are left with pointless memories and barely healed scars Lost all my brothers in the past So they ask me if I shed a tear, I’m not going to lie I may look alright on the outside Deep down though even I have to cry Oh why, do I have to hide these feelings inside Deep in my tears on this pillow where I now lie My tears burn when I cry Dear lord... Oh why, does it have to be this way Let me hide behind a cold disguise Cos no one should hear me cry Dear God... oh why... All I see is these paranoid people, Bad mouthing each other Not worrying about who they upset Cos of them I’ve got memories that I’d rather forget I can’t even figure what they all mean They attack when my guards down and take over my dreams Leaving me drowning, gasping for breath Haters would accept nothing less My mind is an absolute mess What exactly do I represent How much of my spirit has already been spent? I feel so cold or have I sold my soul? Addicted to pain and misery, the story has finally been told Come take my body lord, don't let me suffer any longer Where is the end to all my grief, there has got to be a close I suppose that's why I write the way I do, and cry the way I cry Oh why, do I have to hide these feelings inside Deep in my tears on this pillow where I now lie My tears burn when I cry Dear lord... Oh why, does it have to be this way Let me hide behind a cold disguise Cos no one should hear me cry Dear God... oh why... I’ve shed tears for years for my brothers and my peers You’ve never heard my cries Cos my cries are on the inside Would you cry when it’s my time to die? Oh why, do I have to hide these feelings inside Deep in my tears on this pillow where I now lie My tears burn when I cry Dear lord... Oh why, does it have to be this way Let me hide behind a cold disguise Cos no one should hear me cry Dear God... oh why...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
