Hidden are the tears
That poets frequently write about
Beautiful sonnets and heartfelt melodies
But in reality tears don’t gardner beauty
They aren’t tears of joy...
They are tears of fear, horror and tragedy
They sustain the need to yell and scream
They are the lifeline that people need to live.
Mistaken in stories of glee and love
You waste you life in raging control
Losing yourself....

nothing but the truth of tears, we write what we cried for. and what we yearn. we write all the possible beauties in life just to counter the horror and sorrow we fill in ourselves.
