Where do all the tears go?

by Lydie   Nov 2, 2005


I hate the fact I'm sad
I always thought I'd never give in
along time fighter, hard worker
I always thought I'd win

but when it came to the race
I broke down instead
tears flowing down my face
a question in my head

so I walked up to my mummy
as more tears came down my cheek
I opened my mouth, cleared my throat
yet I couldn't seem to speak

I tried again and asked her
'Mummy, where do all the tears go?'
she shrugged and smiled
but the answer she did not know

so I sat there thinking
and it occured to me
once your tears fall from your eyes
your heart will set them free.

-This one needs a lot of work so I'll be coming back to fix it soon-

    "where do all the tears?" that is a perfect title. this one touched my heart. reminds me about when I was your age. I had so much confidance in myself and I always hated to lose. losing was the worst thing that could ever happen to me and I refused to cry. words can't explain the feelings...now as I've gotten older, I've learned that the race is not always won by the swift but by those who endure to the end. its okay to lose sometimes because in reality you win and its okay to cry.

    Great write! you have far more talent then I do...keep up the good work and I look forward to reading more.
