Tears

Tears- drops of water from the tear ducts in a person’s eyes, usually released during intense sorrow or laughter; also, a series of rips, as in tearing something apart.

So much inside that never comes out

Faces and places and way too much doubt

An entire life lived knowing nothing better

Hoping to find some relief in a letter

.

Trying so hard to be like the rest

“Normal and happy” would be the best

The desperate do anything to get to this place

Anything to put a smile on my face

.

Tears in my eyes fall out of my head

Tears in my heart rip it to shreds

Tears of the loved ones all left behind

Tearing away at the lonely man’s mind

.

I think this may be a work in progress, so I may add more to it later. I think it’s enough for now though.
