Minstrel Man

I just discovered this poem and I though I should share it.

Minstrel Man
By: Langston Hughes

Because my mouth Is wide with laughter

And my throat

Is deep with song,

You do not think I suffer

after I have held my pain So long?

Because my mouth Is wide with laughter,

You do not hear My inner cry?

Because my feet Are gay with dancing,

You do not know I die?
