It's Okay To Cry Poem by Kristen Donovan Hutt

You look around, day in day out
There is always pain, without a doubt
People fight and die everyday
Children, bloody and bruised, never play

Parents hooked on drugs and fights
Reminded all day about the hurtful nights
Words are thrown, fists are swung
Loved ones die when they’re way too young

Blood and tears, they’re too well known
The things we learn, the things we’re shown
Some give up and some move on
The joy was here but now is gone

How did it come to start? When will it finally end?
Physical cuts heal, but emotional ones never mend
So next time you see hurt in someone’s eye
Don’t forget to remind them that it’s okay to cry
