Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes I cry
And no one knows why;
When I thirst or when I ache
When what I see no sense I make;
When a pebble is stuck in my shoe
And I have no way to tell you;
When I hear a sad song
Or when I want to come along;
When I itch or when I am too hot
Of all these things I can tell you not.
For I have no words, you see
And I know it is hard to understand me.
But I am a child of the universe, too
And I have the same wants and needs as you.
So try to be patient and kind with me;
I am only trying to make you see
That something is not as it should be
And though difficult, it is reality
That sometimes I cry
And no one knows why.
