Tears

You'll get the gist of it when you read it.

Tears are not the emblem of suffering,

Because there is more beneath the surface than the tears you dispense.

You are beneath the tears. You are beneath the mind of suffering.

That these tears are a creation of their own. And we do not choose to cry.

Your tears will not build you.

And your pains, well, they’re merely that.

Crossroads between growth and failure.

Whichever you choose,

But your tears will not be the one to decide for you.

You will decide that for you.
