my tears dry so fast

i can't keep track

when i cry

the river flows

the rain falls

but inside

the crack grows

like a cavern

mining deeper

into the depths of my soul

i cry about the little things

but only the meaningful things

like the lost friends

the memories i spent with them

even for a second

the kind strangers i met on the street

how they made me smile

how grateful i am

the meals i get

my father

my mother

my stepfather

my uncle and aunt

and most, my grandmother

my family

the plants

the world

i cry

because when the good happens

i cling to the comfort like a warm pillow

i miss it

the places i went

the pictures i took

the songs i listened to

the appreciation

god

how wonderful

so when i cry

i cry like the river

the rain

the happiness

the pain

late in the am

i write

and a tear or two rolls down

and i wipe them away

as i sit

and just

disintegrate to how my life

so tragic

so magic

so when i die

i'll miss the bitter

the better

i'll miss my existence

i cry for myself sometimes

how thankful i am for myself

i am ever so thankful.
