Tears of joy
They rarely fall
But when they do
They are the sweetest of all
Tears of laughter
They're more often
When they slide out of my eyes
I savor them
Tears of sadness
They are popular
They dot my pillow
And stain my cheeks
Tears of pain
They come now
And again
They fall when I sin
These tears I cry
They mean something
They mean I'm still human
They mean I still feel
This may not seem significant
For you
To me
They are what keep me here
Tears in my clothes
They don't bother me so
I find them
I fix them
They are gone in a flash
Tears in my skin
They come now and again
They heal
But leave a trail
I hide them best I can
Tears in my heart
Are easy to hide
I smile
I laugh
Its what keeps them
From asking
What for
Do you cry
Do you see now
A tear
A drop of salt water
A tear
A rip in a broken body
Do you see now
These tears and tears that I bare
I don't wear them with pride
In fact I like it when they're easy to hide
Don't tell
Don't spread the word
I hide them
Because I'm told to
Now bruises are different
I have an excuse
I'm clumsy you see
But that's another story
