One Little Tear

A tear, drips and lands

On the hand of the unsuspecting,

Who knew a small little thing could hurt so bad,

When your hurt by the living.

 

No warning you get besides a small choke,

When least you expect it, it will attack

This little thing that will in pain soke,

When the giver, stabs you in the back.

 

Small to say the least,

Insignificant to others may be,

But when you weep every night and curse the beast,

The tear comes and attacks what it will see.

 

Anger, shame embarrassment,

What can be the cause of such pain?

Pain, yes pain, from pain the tear is sent,

To rid the sanity from the sane.

 

This tear not from darkness nor death does it come,

For blessed are those that weep,

But not all that weep, weep for justice of the dumb,

And their evil will seep.

 

Tears, tears, and tears to all will come crashing down,

When least it shall be expected it will appear,

Some will scream, some won't make a sound,

When down their cheek will pour the pain of one little tear.

Tears are a good thing. Mean we are still alive and feel. Many reasons for tears. Some are good and some are bad.
"Some will scream, some won't make a sound,
When down their cheek will pour the pain of one little tear."
No weakness in this amazing poem.

Thanks for your nice review! This poem makes me think:
Silence is smart as feelings turn tart; Silence, she hears our pain through the years. Yet you do speak out In One Little Tear and this break in silence means so much. Nicely written. Imagery comes alive. Metering seems off, but then I may have missed the mood (or intent) of the write. Check "But those that do their hope will leap." which seems to interfere with the flow. Thanks for sharing this!
