Tears

Running down your cheeks,

sparkling in light

Was it pain, or was it fear

was it anger, or was it despair

But weren't they priceless, they once said

or are they worthless I always said

My anger dismissed through my silence,

and my silence broke into tears

Should I let them keep running,

or keep them buried inside

They were worthless to many,

yet priceless to some

Was I forced to break down,

or did I volunteer to withstand

A question shall always remain,

To whom were they worthless, and to whom were they priceless?
