A Tear

a tear i shed is more than enough. ennough to say, no shout "IM SAD" 
enough to scream "IM MORE THAN MAD" 
and i hate to cry. especialy in public. 
it draws attention and that's not me. so when i cry i pray that nobody sees.
 i'll fold my hands over my eyes curled up in a ball and to noones supprise,
 ill be surrounded by the pond ive made , 
covered with smeared mascre, smeared down my wet cheeks,
 with a box of tissues by my side 
and a memory in my mind, 
ill cry to say one last time 
for this is the beginning of my fight.

My dear, Carson, what a human-too-human poem! It I a parade of emotions battling the inner and outer Self at once! Crying is not to be seen as weakness of A person but rather as strength of his humanity! You seem To be a fine young woman that a few tears will add to the Beauty of your soul! Thank you for your visit and a warm welcome to the SOUPERS! Plus a 7!
