Do not cry if I am not there;
Because you didn’t cry with me when I cried in my cot.
All I heard were the laughs, and I saw you all smiling when I lay and cried.

You were there but never cried in my sorrows,
You never cried with me in my pains, my anger, or my happiness.

You always listened to, but never understood the mental turmoil,
Neither the silence was familiar.

You all did your jobs perfectly,
I guess it was me who lacked it at every point.

It’s all my mistake, and only I will bear the trial.
You keep laughing and smiling like you always did;
That might subdue my cries to be heard.

Do not cry if I am not there;
Because you didn’t cry with me when I did.
