Tears of Pain

If the results of my actions accurately measure my competence.
Why shouldnt pride solidify my accomplishments?
Haunted with the feeling of being mislead.
But realistically, how could the situation be misread?
I gave freely of myself, yet it still cost me.
Yet, you were the biggest loser, being you lost me.
Trying to recover time, forced to retreat in space.
Evidence of long cried tears streaking my face.
Rage barely contained inside a cracced vessel.
Explode to episodes, lest the heartache settles.
Offered a new life, in exchange for tears.
And still was bothered in spite of impatient years.
Inevitable to lose, just dont lose the lesson.
Afford to miss opportunities, but dont miss the blessing.
You can't enjoy a nice day dwelling on fears of rain.
So, i'll maintain my smile, even through tears of pain.
