Billy Mlonda Poet ABC

Don'T Cry

Don’t cry
Not because it doesn’t hurt
I know it violently does

Don’t cry
Not that your heart is of steel
Just don’t bow to defeat

Do not shed a tear;
Not because you are a man
But you’ve got to be strong

Don’t cry
I know life plays favourites 
But life isn’t for the weak

Don’t cry
Not that you lack tears 
But don’t let them see you drown

Stop crying
When you tremble in fear
That’s when the lion in you roars

Don’t cry
When your faith is shaken
In the messages of pain from the past

Don’t cry
Or maybe you should
Only if you do behind doors.
