"Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?"* by Antwone Fisher is a poignant poem that reflects deep emotional pain and abandonment. Written from the perspective of a man recalling his troubled childhood, it explores themes of trauma, isolation, and the longing for love and care. The repeated question, "Who will cry for the little boy?" emphasizes the speaker's unresolved suffering and the absence of compassion in his early life. The poem captures the heartache of carrying childhood wounds into adulthood, while also suggesting that the act of acknowledging one’s pain is a step toward healing and self-compassion.
