...Have Never Shed Tears

Please Read.

The streets that we walk have never shed tears,

because all the steps that have been taken 

were no pain that they couldn't handle.

With thoughts full of "I deserve them"

for all the children that they have scabbed and

the knees that they have shattered. 

"My concrete body can take so much more,

I deserve everything until I am pieces or halves."

With anti-pessimism in the heart it says 

"I shall age and I will break, 

but until I falter the land will never separate.

I shall weather and I will fade,

but with all my remaining strengths, I will be the ground."

The rocks that we kick have never shed tears,

because all the anger we have given

were no fire they couldn't block. 

Walls built with "I will never shatter with your quake"

for all the tears that they have stolen

and the tires that they have popped. 

"My solid soul will take anything if not all,

I will stand below you because you are above."

With loaded loyalty its invisible eyes scream

"I shall erode and someday will be skipped,

but until I fail, you will never fall.

I shall roll and I will move,but 

with all my remaining strengths,I will remain by you and your feet."

The walls that we punch have never shed tears,

because all the faults that we have felt

were no friends without forgiveness.

Layers painted with "I will be the one to see you with no mask"

for all the frustrations they have welcomed

and the fists that they have broken.

"My mask is the pain that you had painted when you came,

with your heart in my mind, I will remain in way of hurt."

Totaled honesty within its brains, walls whisper

"I shall creak and I will crack,

but until I crumble I am here to hold.

I shall crack and I will crash,but with 

all my remaining strengths,I will hold your side and protect your head."

And with this I say to all that have never shed tears

"I shall cry and I will frustrate, but when the 

world is falling like crystals in a cave,

I will be standing like the samurai in the rain."

for all the scars that I have given

and the items that I've thrown,

"I hope to never be forgiven, I lived without you in care,

and with future in mind I apologize because there will be pain."

Filled with life I walk in body and state

"I shall cry and I will die,

but until I have lived I am here for life.

I shall cry and I will frustrate, but when the 

world in falling like crystals in a cave, with all my

remaining strengths, I will be standing like the samurai in the rain."

"I shall cry and I will die,
but until I have lived I am here for life.
I shall cry and I will frustrate, but when the
world in falling like crystals in a cave, with all my
remaining strengths, I will be standing like the samurai in the rain."

I like the last lines very much. i will be standing like the samurai in the rain. It shows strength and fearlessness.. I wish i was more like that. One that couldn't shed a tear or feel pain like the ground, the rocks, and the walls. very thoughtful piece..

Thank you, those are also my favorite lines in this poem. I'm glad you got the message I was wanting to send with those lines.
Even when people don't think they are growing they are taking in everything and growing. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

In two words: Well done. The only thing I have to nitpick about is sometimes you do minor mistakes like using "in" where there should be an "is" and so on and so forth. Provided you look out for that, I give you a 100/100 and add this to my favorites. Again, very, very well done Melody. :)

Thank you.
Yeah, I'm tired so I'm like half-blind from the brightness of my computer screen because of it. I'll have to go back and edit it soon. I will indeed look out for that.
Thank you, Riley. :)
