Already Dead
I'm sitting and crying on my bed
Waiting until i'm dead
Then I figured that I was already dying
because a strong man dies when he starts crying
Waiting until i'm dead
Then I figured that I was already dying
because a strong man dies when he starts crying

Wow, that is brilliant. Could see that as a very famous quote kind of reminds me of Robert Frost who is my favourite poet and I am getting a quote of his tattooed.
Very short but fantastic.

This poem is powerful, truly, yet it is unutterably sad to me as well. I find the concept of a strong man equating his tears with the beginning of death such a horrific concept. Perhaps, a truly strong man can cry without it diminishing him; rather, accepting tears as just another of the myriad expressions of emotions the healthy human animal/creature/person has. Just a thought to ponder, luv... There is extraordinary power in this poem, though. It reverberates through the soul.
