ocean of tears
(poems go here) i cry a lot.
ashamed to admit it
but my emotions cannot be quenched.
bottle my tears
slap on a cheap label
charge five dollars
for the drink of my depression.
ship the bottles out to a third-world country
destroy their land and force the people to industrialize
tell them that native traditions are wrong
that plastic is the answer.
bottle their tears
you could fill the ocean.
ashamed to admit that i cry
what is my pain?
i live in a house, with plenty of food
my family is healthy.
but i fear something in my head is not.
ship me out to a third-world country.
teach me how to suffer.
