    The poem describes how if the speaker could not cry, they would be like various natural phenomena such as a snowy tree, a river needing to flow, the smiling moon, a caged bird wanting to fly, a garden waiting for water, an angry volcano ready to explode, the wind against a barn unable to push past, or an underground crystal that is secret and hidden. However, the speaker concludes that they are not any of these things but rather they are themselves.

    IF I COULD NOT CRY

    by Daniel Errico

    If I could not cry… I would be a snowy tree in the middle of winter.

    If I could not cry… I would be a river, needing to flow.

    If I could not cry… I would be the moon, smiling so big that the would cannot see.

    If I could not cry… I would be a bird in a cage, wanting to fly.

    If I could not cry… I would be a garden, waiting for water.

    If I could not cry… I would be a volcano, angry and ready to explode.

    If I could not cry… I would be the wind against a barn, not able to push past.

    If I could not cry… I would be an underground crystal, secret and hidden.

    But I am not a tree,

    or a river,

    or the moon,

    or a bird,

    or a garden,

    or a volcano,

    or the wind,

    or a crystal.

    I am me.
