Teardrops

My teardrops fall like rain.
I collect them in a jar, labeled "pain."
My teardrops write stories, 
that I'm to afraid to talk about.
I dry my own tears because no one else will.
My teardrops flow like rain.
Rain, rain please go away.
I'm tired of crying on these hopeless, rainy nights.
I need two, three, four more jars.
One jar is not near enough;
for the countless tears that fall like rain.
