Sometimes i may cry <br />The tears I shed are proof of my instability <br />But nevertheless <br />I will put them away <br />For when i need them most <br />They show the people whom i love very much <br />The pain I've suffered on my behalf <br />The mistakes I've always wished I've never made <br />The regrets that rest in my mind <br />They play over and over again <br />They'll never know what happened to me <br />What I've done to feel so much hatred toward myself <br />But at least I'm showing them something <br />With my tears, I show them that I am not always happy <br />Infact, I think it shows them that I'm not at all happy <br />Truly happy, that is <br />But, in reality, who is? <br />Maybe if we all broke down our walls <br />Unlocked our doors <br />And looked deep within ourselves <br />We'd see how sad we all really are.<br /><br />Tamika Robinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shedding-tears-2/
