So Stoic

So Stoic

I wish I could cry

Not a wailing
convulsing sob

just a little misty eyed

I wish I could cry

about anything


a little moisture
for anyone

I wish I could shed a tear

for the tragedy
that is humanity


It's not that
I don't care

I'm not an
insensitive guy

I just can't ever
seem to cry

Why are my
tear ducts
so dry?
