The One Who Mourns For a Failed Reason

Tears are obvious, 
those teardrops do whisper many… many things.
Some are frozen wounds, some are freshly drawn, 
the purpose of belonging.
And she asked her father,
”Am I an unwanted child, 
was I ever a pretty one?”
Lots and lots of sounds these days, 
some are coldly handed and undone.
I wasn’t there to decipher how birds still fly so stubborn, 
so cheerfully in the sky
Perhaps, It’s a woe to the one, 
who mourns for a failed reason, nothing to live by.
