Image for the poem the ego never cries

the ego never cries

  
the day scream larceny through razor lips
it claimed I robbed it of its honesty  
my shadow looked guilty of the theft
maybe my soul knew something I didn't  
   
it hung back when the emotional Sheriffs showed up  
my pockets were shaken down and I was searched  
but no tears could be found  
there were pain and anger    
but the salty evidence of the emotion was missing  
   
heavy with a feeling to no relief  
the day scream thief!!!  
it was robbed of its personal truth  
denial had stolen its essence  
   
there would be no justice today  
the guilty party got off scotfree    
hiding out in the ego    
   
where tears are held, hostage  
there will be no release for me  
cos I don't cry, not ever
