One Million and 36tears!

One million and 36 tears
each has been shed for every day of the week
Poet small
Timid Sane
Bereft by humanity-
in secret emotion's PAIN
For every distinct purpose in life's calendar year
This mask of mine has concealed much unheard of FEAR

Even though it has been worn
the guise cannot null 
Sweet tauntings of the scorn
Mirror mine
reflecting lump
as if to mock
This ne'er do well chump
One million foe
has danced on my toe
Alone to see
My tragedy of woe

ONE MILLION&36 tears
and still
I count the weary numerical
