[Poem] Don't ask me why I cry - Ojedele Adeniyi Samson

Don't ask me why I cry

Down in my heart are many sad stories.

Stories that are better left unrevealed. 

Stories that hurt my heart and burn my soul.

In silent I weep and never wanted to be asked; why do you cry? 

Don't ask me why I cry. 

For more pain is unearthed if revealed. 

The anguish in my heart supersede that of hell.

Waves of the oceans flowed with vigour through my tiny eyes.

Please don't ask me why I cry. 

My face expressed joy and tranquility.

Yet my heart is butchered with pains.

The unspoken alphabet of the heart cries.

Yet don't ask me why I cry.

Don't ask me why I cry.

For the replies would breed more pain.

Tears that flow like an ocean.

Tsunami of the heart may occur.

And even the ark of Noah will sink.

Don't ask me why I cry.
