Tears Fall Down My Face

November 3, 2013

Tears fall down my face,

And I try harder to push them all out.

Tears fall down my face,

And my eyes won’t stop squinting.

Tears fall down my face,

And my head is throbbing from all this pain.

Tears fall down my face,

And my nose is runny.

Tears fall down my face,

Onto my cheeks and hugging down on my chin.

Then one accidentally goes into my mouth.

It tastes salty.

I don’t think it was supposed to go in my mouth.

Oops.

It’s okay though, everyone makes mistakes.
