Tears

Waterfalls 
that are drizzling 
down her cheeks.
 But she does not want
 anyone to see. She does not want
 anyone to see her true feelings. She tries
 hard to find the truth that lies deep inside,within her 
heart. But as she stares at the mirror nothing becomes clear.
All she sees is hate that she has for herself. All that reflects  back is 
 the tears that  she wipes each day that roll down her  cold cheek. 
As she fears the world and herself , she remains unseen.  
She tries to  depend on someone , but her heart would not allow that to 
happen. She fears that in life that she will always be alone.
She fears, that  with each teardrop, every person  that she cares for 
will disappear. All  that she finds that is consistent in her life are 
her emotions. She hides behind them. Teardrop after 
Teardrop, she finds that the hatred  she has for herself is 
tearing her apart, piece by piece. She finds that she does not 
need anyone but herself. She wonders throughout the 
world not appreciating  anything or anyone.
 She finds that in the beginning she was always  
alone. She now knows that in the 
end it will be the same. As 
teardrops drizzle down her 
cheek, that no one will 
never see, she finds that 
she is truly
 alone.
