About him.
They told me not to follow
Follow them.
They told me not to cry at night
Just sleep.
They told me not to add
Or keep.
They told me not to go
Go there.
They told me not to carry this package
Which I bear.
They told me not to keep it all
Just let it go.
They told me not to grieve for him
But I answered no.
They told me not to be held back
I sighed.
They told me not to hold on tight
He died.
They told me not to ponder this
No tears.
They told me not to kill my heart
Five years.
They told me not to stay like this
Not enough.
They told me not to weaken
I’m tough.
They told me not to lament like a bird
All alone.
They told me not to
They all drone.
They don’t understand
Why I can’t sleep.
They don’t understand
Why I must keep.
They don’t understand
Why I must cry.
I don’t understand
Why he had to die.
This poem's style is kind of weird...Please review.
