Tears in Life

There are tears in my soul

That I wish

Would be exposed

For I can not

Keep it inside anymore

Sometimes I lay awake

At night

With tears

Rolling down my cheeks

Thinking of life

And how it could've

Been better

I have nightmares

Of my family getting hurt

Getting killed

They trap me in my sleep

And when

I wake

My tears

Are exposed

People say

I could have it worse

But I think

I kind of do

I think and wonder

How many people

Would last in my life

Would last being in the

Forever darkness

And have a weight

On their chest

Because they keep

Things inside

For too long

Along with a slight

Emptiness in their heart

But when I think back

Life was simpler

Then it is today

But as I got older

Everything got more

Complex

More angry

And depressing

Thinking of Death

Was like thinking

Of a crush

It still is

But thinking

Of my future

Stops me

At least now it does

A few years ago

Nothing could stop me

From meeting Death

Right now sounds

About good to say hello

But then again

I have siblings

That need me

That need my protection

But no matter

I still cry

The tears of life
