My Tears

Frustration

Boiling inside

Nothing I could do

But break down and cry

I have no solution

I don’t understand

Why I can’t be accepted

For who I am

People always putting me down

Feeling misplaced

Can’t do things over

Nothing is erased

As I’m in this state of mind

How my thoughts swing

Like a wind chime

Always confused

At a point in my life

With no wins

I only seem to lose

Myself

As time goes by

Can’t recover what’s lost

Therefore I can’t find

What is no longer there

Left alone to be greeted

By my

Sweet, salty, tears
