These Tears I Cry Poem by Wallis minten

These tears I cry are selfish
They only show my depression
I do not cry for others
I don’t care for their desolation
My tears burn from the shame
From my coldness to my friends
They were not the wrong ones
I’m the reason my friendships end
My tears were never for people
Who had more to weep for than me
It hurts me to think that all this time
I never knew how greedy I could be
These tears I cry are selfish
But I wish to cry for my peers
I don’t want to make more self-centered actions
I want to have unselfish tears
