Poetry: I do not cry

I DO NOT CRY

Tears will not flow
I do not cry
I shall not bend
My eyes are dry

I need to hold
Onto my grief
I am drowning
It is my reef

My mouth is set
Determination
Stays with me
To my destination

The time has come
To say good-bye
I say a prayer
But I do not cry

On your grave
One rose I leave
I do not cry
Alone I grieve

    Though my dad
    Exits the door
    To Iraq
    To fight a War,
    I do not cry.

    Though the Pole
    May melt away
    Rising tides
    For Judgment Day,

    I do not cry, alone in this place
    There is no one to hide from
