Trails of tears read a story
whose ending was not wished.
Some are dark, some light,
some faded, while some not visible,
Yet, everyone carries one.
They tell you about the person
who is and not was.
Comprises of the lesson
linked forever to their heart.
Trails of tears always last.
Who hurt you, doesn’t matter.
They are from days past.
They exfoliate the chaos
and bind strength,
Tears are misunderstood.
A benevolent affair that
makes it blurry
and ends with a feeling, good.
Contrary to notion,
they signify courage and acceptance.
Nothing scares us more than feelings
that lay hidden deep somewhere.
Blood runs down the skin
when the flesh is peeled
but tears run down when
the hurt wishes to be healed.
Perpetuity makes it difficult
to change and be better.
Tears break that chain,
Tears don’t make you any lesser.
