* note this is what I have been working on the last few days.

Feel free to comment if you wish.

 

These tears I cry

You will never see

They don't fall outside but inside of me.

Tears of Pain

Cried in Vain

Tears of Joy

Easily destroyed

Tears of strife

I've cried them all my life

Always something new

and the tears continue to brew

Tons of fears

accompanied by tons of tears.

Everyday I cry

I've done this for years.

Why can't I stop crying? I ask myself

Instead I keep putting my true feelings on a shelf.

Maybe I'm comforted by sadness

Maybe I welcome the fears

I'm not always sure why I cry

So many sad things happen in life

that cause these tears of strife.

Lord in heaven please help me through my fears.

With your help, maybe I can stop these tears.
