Never cry

When I was growing up, my father used to tell me: Never cry.
The world doesnt like the weak; it loves the ones who try
And keep on going. Never mind the pain or what you feel
All it is is just one heck of an illusion- it isnt real.
He would put me on my feet; wipe away my tears
And just like that hell make me fearless of my fears.
Today I stand beside his bed.
The smell of alcohol cuts through my nostrils I am sad:
White walls are whispering the names of dead and some
Are whispering my fathers name
He has achieved his goal of making me a man-
The proud, strong, hard working, never-crying man
But today, my dearest father, in memory of youIll bow my head,
And shed a tear or few for I have always been well-dressed and fed,
And have become what you have wanted me to be.
Ill keep on going forward like you taught me,
And keep on living life but not today because what I feel
Is overpowering It is, indeed, too real.
I will teach me children to be as strong as you, Ill try
But I cannot hold back my tears today, I have to cry.
