Tears
I cry
The tears trickle down my cheek.
The worries of my past and future,
All wound up.
Expelled into a single tear.
Why do I cry?
The waves of happiness
Inside of me
Have ceased.
The world is full of pain.
My beating heart gets
But no recognition.
The labors and toils of life,
That I sacrifice,
Are not enough

Names Alaster/TheRareBreed, Nice to meet you. This poem truly makes me feel for the idea behind it. But i want to note, after all my time of writing (since i was like 10- I'm 17) Ive learned that true happiness... it comes from this art. Write in your way, find the writers seed. Continue to inspire those around you.
I'm Sarah and I like to write poems a lot. This is my first public submission for a poem so yeah thanks so much for reading <3
