speaking of tears

i feel like im
slowly
falling
and failing
and trailing down

when i cry i can relate to my tears,
and ive been relating a little more than i can handle.

they form into tiny drops of worries, and slowly pass down my cheeks, several at a time. i dont like to wipe them away, i leave them be until they end up on my lap. and though they physically leave my body, they dont necessarily leave my mind.
and i speak a lot of tears these days.

but i dont like to panic, over a little stress..
everyone has to deal with it, what makes mine any worse?:

i make it something for everyone to deal with

    freewrites are fine by this lass miss mary, and this freewrite is awfuly fine. ideed, there is the act of crying wich could be over soon enough, but as each tear is a part of ye and represents something dear to your heart then, i must admit... i get crying hangovers. ye ken, ye cry all nigh... or day, or even a good cry thoe short.... and then comes the headach. crying is personal, and the cryee.. (is that really a word) has thier own styly. some hide in cupboarts.. (miself for example) but otheres make crying a shareing thing...
    mayhap ye do make it someone elses problem, but i think that, if they dinna care, then it wouldna become thier problem. and if they do care enough, then still, it isna a problem... just something that needs be adressed and fixed.
    much love to ye,

    I love this. I think tears are hard to sum up, because its just like an overflow and its hard to keep your thoughts in order. I don't know if that made sense, but I really enjoyed reading this one. Lovely.
