Drip drip drip
Smile. Put on a brave face. Be grateful you are alive. Fake it to you make it.
Then for some reason the mask slips.
You realize you haven't been fooling the world, you haven't even been fooling yourself.
The tears fall, drip, drip, drip.
Down reddened cheeks,
off the chin,
into the ears.
Drip drip drip
If tears are cleansing then I should be the cleanest around. I can go months with nothing making me cry and then for some reason everything does.
The world as a whole doesn't realize what the experience is like. What it does to you, how it changes you, the profound affect it has on not only yourself but those closest to you as well.
Is it wrong to cry? Is it wrong to dwell? dwell is the wrong word , what about revisit.? Why do the tears come.
Is it grief for that which was lost or that which will never be realized? Or is it simply frustration? Or exhaustion?
