31. Honest rivers down my face 12.10.2025


I walk up to the mirror, to see myself cry;
There’s plenty of reasons, so don’t ask why.
I can’t even choose which one it really is
I just look at my face, with running tears!!

A raw, intimate little poem that captures the bewildering weight of tears without forcing an explanation. The mirror image is especially affecting, while the simple rhyme and direct voice make the emotion feel immediate and honest.
