I Try to Cry

I try to cry

but no tears

just anger

pain

caught inside

stuck

i want to get out

but how?

i scream i yell

i want to escape

but how?

Simple, and straight forward. I think that is what worked for you in this poem.
Tok make it better for the reader, I think you should add puncuations? Just a suggestion.
and also, in your first 'how?'
Maybe add a 'but how?' there too? I think it might help with the flow a bit better that way perhaps. "/

There's no escape when there's so much pride in one's heart. In order to cry, we must let go of all guilt and forget all else. To love oneself is the first step.

Sometime tears can release great pain. I understand the desire of this poem. Anger can close the doors to forgiveness and escape from sad memories. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

Wow. Though the poem's short and simple, I felt the intensity of the emotion. I liked it. Great write. ;)

Great poem. So much emotion stacked into it. It is simple, but very emotional. Keep writing!

This is a good poem. It has so much emotion packed into the few lines. Great format and rhythm help it flow quite nicely. Great job! Keep it up!
