A tear the weight of the world

cc Late Dec 2023

Excruciating pain weighing my back, its getting

Harder to stand upright

When it is too overbearing to look above

Maybe it will be alright, to stare

Blankly

At the stained carpet, or the glistening floor

And let it drop

Tip

Feeling the drop find its way down my face

Onto my empty hands

Taking my pain with it

Tip-tip

Another one

Screaming of all its disgrace

All its misfortunes

Opening the gates to so many more

Maybe its okay for once, to allow

A stream down your cheeks

If i knew this pain i had been bearing

Could be taken away by such small action

What stopped me ?

The judging stares of all around me, or

Maybe the inability to allow weakness

to seep through?

Proven false, that is what it was,

is,

and will always be.

Once again, my head had won over my chest.

No, not in this moment.

Not this time.

My swollen eyes hold no meaning

If to cry is to lift your burdens, even

For a moment.

Maybe, its okay if i let it go often
