Self Portrait of a Tear I Shed
I hold this charcoal pencil
I'm drawing this picture
I am sadden by the eye
This fallen teardrop
That's leaving my right eye
I cried, now I'm covering myself
As I am now holding my breathe
I have nothing left but this tear
Open wide my heart
Open up my eye
To the tear that runs down
My cheek is wet
I have nothing left
But I cry out of my eye
I cry a self portrait of a tear I shed
