Recovery
A single tear
Falling from a face
All that is seen is the fear
That no one can embrace
Many ask why
Why so upset
Why cry
Behind the tear is all regret
Regret that a mental death occurred
The original person cannot come back
That is assured
That is a fact
All that is left to do is move on
Feel remorse
Smile till dawn
Smile even if it is needed to apply force
Whatever life gives
It will be okay
Shame is not needed for a lived life
Take life day by day
