Can'T Hold Back My Tears

Sometimes I wish I could hold back my tears. Like when I get hurt by someone dear or when there's no one near to comfort my fears. Can't hold back my tears when that miracle happens and my heart is filled with joy and I'm overwhelmed. My very soul fills with cheer and the tears begin to show. Can't hold back my tears when my ears listens to the things not meant to hear, and my throat begins to choke fighting back a deep sear. As my eyes become soaked the flow slowly trickles my face. Can't hold back my tears when living and giving is a joy, changing lives of others, and the face is not a color, just an expression of gratitude and love for one another. Can't hold back my tears when in the beginning the ending was already spinning and time kept going and the universe kept growing, out of control. I wish I knew the exact date before it gets too late. Maybe the script could be rewritten and we, the people, could stop this mass destruction. Can't hold back my tears when babies and children are hurting, families deserting one another, money, drugs, and guns now more important then life, and I start to cry for yet another innocent life taken. "Can't hold back my tears"
