Rehnesha Santos Poet Rhyme

Crying

They roll down my face nearly everyday
Do people really mean the words that they say
The words they say
That make me feel this way

I wipe them away yet the sorrow remains
I'm left with nothing
Hopeless
Knee down deep in pain

They build back up in my eyes as I try to manage a smile
Hoping that this one will last a long while
Soon my smile is gone; have nothing but sadness
Not even the slightest bit of light can bring me happiness

Now they're falling down my cheeks like a smooth waterfall
There's nothing I can do to try to stop them all
If I smile again, then I must be lying
Time to face the fact that I'm crying

Just That Archaic Poet February 7, 2014 at 10:38 AM Wow. I'm reading a lot of poems this morning with which I totally identify. This poem reminded of that song "It's all right to cry; crying gets the sad out of you" (don't recall the song title; I just remember those verses.) Kudos; great write, enjoyed this very much :)
