My tears now come out of nowhere
Don’t understand the purpose or true reasons why.
When my mind steps out into memory lane
My eyes begin their... salted liquid cheek's apply.
But what is causing me all these sorrow-filled emotions?
That I seem…now not able to stop their flow.
Is it all of what I had held on to for years?
And never learned to handle or let go.
Whatever the reasons for those sorrows be
I wish they would just leave me the heck alone!
And find their place in another needing
A much better… and needed aquatic home.
Until that time I’ll just keep godly busy
Without negative thoughts throughout my day.
So if in case…tears start to alert their arrival
They won’t be long lived …dry up and go away.

So true! Many times we are not sure what is making us feel like crying. I like this stanza best: 'But what is causing me all these sorrow-filled emotions? That I seem…now not able to stop their flow. Is it all of what I had held on to for years? And never learned to handle or let go.' Often times things do build up without our realizing it. A very thoughtful poem with a lot of truth to it! Well done.
that'sthe remedy to stop tears from falling...this is beautiful dear...

I would like to translate this poem
a profoundly sad poem, for me it's about ignoring, or trying to ignore subjects too painfull to deal with, so we sweep them under the carpet (but they are still there) .
