Tears of Anything

written my senior year of high school about emotions I would later learn were bipolar disorder. (2000)

tears of rage fall
as my body sears with the anger of a thousand years or war
it burns me like the wrath of a volcano
the molten lava filling my body with an unquenchable fire that eats away at my soul
no one is as angry as i

tears of sorrow flow
as my body leaks the sadness of a thousand years of death
it swallows me like the deepest ocean
the salty waves crashing over my head and washing away all my hope
no one is as sad as i

tears of happiness shower
as my body glows with the joy of a thousand years of love
it carries me on the highest cloud
the changing winds blowing softly through me and taking with it my hatred and despair
but leaving behind a quiet peace
no one is as happy as i
