Holding Back Tears
Why did you retain your tears hidden?
Will the issues cease after they are bound?
Are the fountains close to stale down?
Or has your whole life been destroyed?
What fulfills your happiness every day?
For all the suffering you've endured.
Crying for the sake of making others cry.
You're pretending on the inside, indeed.
Are you aware of other people's misery
and wish to attenuate their sadness?
It's a considerable measure of certainty.
You acquire if you discover happiness.
Will you be able to overcome this adversity?
The most unbearable of all was the sorrow.
Endeavoring to climb a mountain endlessly.
To forestall a potential deadly stumble hallow.
I believe you must start working forward.
After seeing others achieve greater success.
Every other fresh morning brings a reward.
As well as a willingness to energize and bless.
Consider putting on your optimal performance.
Never lose hope, even if your life is near its final.
An excess void will never aid in one's ascendance.
All you can do is act with sapience and be helpful.
