June Blog Challenge Day 19: TEARS
Why do I cry?
The constant threat
of tears
of tears
is getting old.
Fast.
Fast.
If tears are what
make rainbows
in our eyes
my world should be
filled
with color.
choose
to live within the
extremes.
Black
Black
or
white.
I want
a world
full of color.
I just wish
I could find it
I could find it
with a
few
less
tears.

I cry a lot. Every emotion elicits tears - sadness, happiness, anger, excitement... The emotions have been plentiful the past few weeks, and this poem was written after a rather intense conversation one day last week. I need frequent reminders that there really is a world full of colorful options, and I don't have to stick with extremes. It's a good thing for me to be reminded of regularly, maybe one day soon I'll remember that my favorite color is purple, and not black or white.
Prompt: Tears can be healthy. Tears can be reminders of things past. Tears can be freeing. Beautiful. Tears can be a release. What do tears mean for you? Do you cry a lot? Not at all? What is it that makes you cry? Consider what feels right for you for this prompt.
love this <3
