Hate To See You Cry
July 2011 (10th Grade)
Sonnet

Open  up.
It's okay to cry.
No matter how much it hurts inside,
saying "I'm fine" isn't good enough.
I can't dig in your brain 
or dwell in your heart.
All I can do is put pieces back where you fall apart,
and hope you tell me everything.
I know you're trying to be strong,
but it only makes it worse.
It's okay to be hurt.
It's never wrong.
Daddy, just remember I...
absolutely, positively hate to see you cry.
