Let This Teardropp Fall Poem by Shilesha Johnson

The tears drizzle from my eye
But does not slide down my cheek
It just sits there
Like everything I hold inside
Kept within me
I want to be strong
I just have to be
I know this is wrong
But crying is for the weak
I try so hard not to let this teardropp fall
But find difficulty
Because you’re not with thee
And it makes my body feel numb
I can’t see
I can’t feel…
I can’t hear anyone
Just my insides
And they say cry
My thoughts yell at me as if I’m in trouble
And the more I hold in
The more the pain doubles
My heart is confused
Because my pride says don’t cry
My heart pleads for me to let everything go…
Not to lie
It says stop denying what you are truly feeling
It says I have to come to terms with the truth
To begin the process of healing
And yet these teardrops still seem to fall
