Tears

by Thea   Aug 29, 2009


When they come, you dont want them to, you want them to stay,
Hidden away, and not to be on display,
You try to defeat them, but its mostly infutile,
Carry on as you might, and they'll return in a while.
As they do it gets harder to prevent their decent,
Now growing stronger as you disallow them to vent.
Tears are painful, but you should allow them to fall,
Its when they wont come that your problems wont seem so small.
Cascading, rolling, staining your face
Rivers, droplets, oceans, lakes.
You should let them flow, let them stream down. As it is easier to paddle, than it is to drown.

    Good poem and very very true, i liked the context of it a lot and enjoyed its plot but i felt it was ruined slightly by a lot of forced rhyming.

    the first lines felt very forced and impeded the flow of the poem

    i loved the last stanza in your poem. it was amazing and i feel there is something in the last line that i haven't quite understood but it still makes a huge impression.
