There is a poet whose poem moved me beyond words (and I am a writer). And her poem moved me beyond words because of its content, the way she wrote this content, and of the strength and encouragement to others she shows/expresses within her poem. The title of this poem is "Refuse To Cry," and it is by Cassandra Jones. It is below:

I am stronger,

than you think.

You thought,

I would just sink.




Into a lonely,

sea of despair.

Lost and scared,

with no one to care.




Guess you don't,

really know me.

Unlike you,

I can see.




The strength,

I have inside.

The tears,

I won't let slide.




In the past,

I wouldn't try.

You'd anticipate,

that I would cry.




I won't give,

into your drama.

In the end,

you'll be hit with karma.




You won't drag me,

to your level.

My life won't

be disheveled.




You don't get,

the benefit of the doubt.

You found,

your way out.




Thanks to you,

I don't have to try.

Now that you're gone,

I refuse to cry.
