Softly I weep
Into my pillow
Now my face
Is tear stained
The tracks of my tears
Shimmer and shine
In lines all up and down
My sad face
Nobody knows
How I long to be
That girl
Whose life isn’t messy
But this is me, so complex.

This is so sad. But I believe it’s something everyone can relate to. We’ve all had those nights of crying into our pillows and wishing we were different. Thank you for participating in the prompt.

Tracks will forever be associated with tears (and that song). I agree with previous comments, this is a universal poem, we can all relate to it.

It was such a long time since I cried… not because I don’t carry sorrows…

I understand, some people just don’t cry that often they can’t or they have other things going on for them 💗💗
