*this part is NOT poetry but I decided to share it*

People say that tears at the gateway to the humans emotions. We cry when when we're happy, we cry when we're stressed, and we cry out of pain. Most people strive for the tears of joy. Instead many come to the harsh reality of tears of pain. The tears that leave engraved trails into your mind and skin, not seen by anybody else. Tears of sadness overcomes all of the other feelings. They last for days and even for weeks trailing down your cheeks without anybody noticing. Joyful tears last for minutes as the of overwhelming happiness only last for minutes. The feeling of happiness becomes regular and when it comes to us it doesn't pack a punch like pain does. Every time we go back to clean the wounds from the punch it opens it right back up and tears it up worse than before. Happiness is only ticking our lives away. Memory by memory losing its touch after the second time thinking of it. Tears of happiness fill up our minds, they are useless to us. We think that our happiest memories will be played in our last moments of life, but instead we're stuck with the demons of our darkest moments. Our tears of happiness end up as a weapon to ourselves making us think that theres always a happy ending waiting to surprise us from behind a curtain.
