A Tear

Overworking instead of tear
Fighting instead of tear
Not talking instead of tear
A sleeping pill instead of tear
An alcohol instead of tear
Why do we avoid this honest tear? 
So far and so near
So pure and so dear

Vanessa, lovely poem! Sometimes we have to have a good cry even though others might see it as a sign of weakness...it can be therapeutic! :)
