The Worst Type of Tears:

I hate crying. 

Not the puffy faced, sniffling, headache giving kind. That ones bad, but this ones worse. 

This is the kind of crying where you can't breathe and you feel sick. Your just sitting there thinking and all of a sudden you feel terrible. Then you notice your shirt is soaked from silent tears streaming down your face. 

You feel a whole new level of sadness. A little anger, a little bit of grief, despair, stupidity, and yet some happiness. But you feel awful and you can't stop. Then you get dehydrated yet as soon as you force yourself to drink some water your back to drowning in tears and choking on held in screams. 

And that is the worst type of crying. (10/3/13)

Hello Nichole, Congratulations. Yup, it is the worst type of crying. However, letting go of unwanted and the negativity. Liberation to new things. Nice poem. Regards, Bhavna

Gosh I love how friendly people are on here. You seem like a super nice person, I can't wait to read some of your poems. I suppose a little about me does seem in order, just to prove I'm not a creepy weirdo with internet connection. I fear I'm not super interesting though, so there isn't much to tell. ANYWAYS, I look forward to hopefully talking to you more, "FRIEND" *hugs back* :) ~*~ Nichole ~*~
