My Tears by Lenniahelen


I hold all my tears in my hand

so no one will hear them hit the ground.

My tears are so heavy.

They weigh so much.

They hold so much hurt, sorrow, and rarely joy.

No one else has the strength to carry my tears except me,

because I'm the only one who pushes through the trouble and sorrow that causes them.
