That Tear


That tear you saw Represents all the pain i have suffered The built up anger,hate, and frustration That had been bestowed upon me That tear isn't any ordinary tear It isn't the cry for attention or pity It's the tear of someone so broken inside I just don't know what to do I tend to hide that tear Because i don't want you to know I'm weak Matter or fact, I'm not weak I'm hurt, I'm lost, I'm worthless See, that tear took so much strength to make That my eyes burn, they're bloodshot red That tear belongs to me It shows that I'm only human It shows that through that black hole i call my heart I can still feel pain It still bleeds red It still beats fast That tear represents what I've been through And what i will endure in the furture We all have that one tear That we try to hold back when the pain is too intense But you know what I was ready to show you that tear That tear just defined me Yes I'm weak, and yes I'm hurt But that tear just made me realize That most things are better left unsaid Just wait you'll soon have that tear And watch how it simply defines you

Nil-Nil

I'm a very creative person and im on my way to becoming a professional photographer. I usually don't know how to express myself so i would become anti-social or push people away when they try to reach out. I write poetry only when i can't express my words so i write them down and share them with a few friends. One teacher i have shown a poem to a couple years ago uses it in his classes and gets other teachers to read it. Since then i've been encouraged to be the best and work my way towards happiness and letting others hear my words.
