Poems by Scarlett

Tears

Trying to hold them back

But they won't stop flowing

Inside I am shaking

No idea what I'm doing

I cry over the littlest things sometimes

But not out loud

Just in my head

Tears build up like a rainstorm

Water from Niagara Falls collects

My heart pounds

I sit down and think

I try to blink

But the tears don't leave

They stay

They are coming out to play

I feel so dumb yet I don't say anything

Tears speak out for me

But I feel so sad

The world mists over my eyes

All I do

Is cry

As my tears flow

Nowhere else to go

But down

My friends look at me with a frown

But I can't help it

I need to release

Release the tears
