Tears drip
droplets sink
vision blurs
lashes moisten
nose reddens
eyes sting
hard to breath
overwhelming
crawl into a ball if able
but no shield detectable
no one can be held accountable

My lips are sealed
nothing is revealed
who is there to tell
who is not to fear
nothing is spoken
my words are written

“Something awful could happen at any moment, whilst something nice/pleasant could happen - just the same.”

Nobody's perfect' but some are just perfect enough.
