Is the spelling correct in this poem, titled, "Where do you softly cry?"..?

Where do you softly cry?

When secretly asking why?

Who hears the humblest sigh?

If ever your heart feels it might die?

What place exists?

My mind resists!

Can I make visits?

Is it only within mists?

Do you write it all down?

Scribbling with a frown?

Are Angels kissing your crown?

Or do you openly cry in your town?

    The spelling seems to be in order.

    Edit: This is an inspiring one, Shazy. I have since written and deleted a poem here in response.

    Well, maybe I'll try again, if it's okay, even though months have passed. Just one example...

    I cry alone, but in plain sight,

    sometimes right behind closed eyes.

    So strange, so odd, no one can see,

    even with no privacy.

    It hurts much more when someone's close;

    how can it be they just don't know?

    The tears pool up behind each lid;

    they do not realize...

    and tears stay hid.

    One word: "spellcheck."

    The spelling seems normal in all, of the words. The grammatical forms are not those which would be used in "everyday writing" but they are suitable for that poem.

    Note that the general sentiment of the second verse is impossible to understand by anybody who is not attuned to the ways of that particular poet. Many people would describe that verse less kindly - as a load of nonsense.

    Yes it is spelled correct and good.

    Maybe use "may"instead of "might.

    But this should be changed to rhyme better.

    Can I make visits?

    Is it only within mists?

    That's sort of like asking "is there enough sugar in this arsenic-and-cyanide pie?"
