I am crying


I am crying

The tears on my pillow

My cheeks are soaked

My mind is confused

What did I do?

My face is wet 

Tears are rushing down faster

My pillow is drenched

My cheeks are red 

Why is he like this?

I am crying 

My sniffles are quiet

My head is pounding 

The tears are drying up 

Why am I dealing with this?

I wiped my own tears

Turned my pillow over

I am not crying

Poetry is the description of life, but replaced with dramatic and different phrases. Describing and a life lesson, to make the audience feel, and think about the poem. Love poetry, love writing love-sad poems, but lead to extreme danger. Happy with life, and happy with my writing. 3 years of writing poetry, and more years to come.
