Tears Like Rain Poem by Jayce McCormick

Emotions are like the stirring seas
They can toss you around, mock, and tease
Some are true, progressive, and whole
And others are lies that tear your soul

Sadness and grief come to mind
I seem to feel them all the time
Yet pockets of happiness start to grow
Then vanish as though they were a joke

Do you know it feels to love a girl
Give her your heart, let her know she's your world
You grow so close but soon in time
She rips you off her like a thrashing vine

Or has the world ever made you feel so small
That you feel so worthless, not valued at all
As you drag yourself through long, hard days
While everyone hates you and mocks what you say

And have you ever held a loved one in your arms
And told them it was going to be ok
Even though it was their dying breath
And their lifeless body collapsed onto you

These things have brought me the greatest pain
Remembering all the places and names
Life over here seems bitter and plain
And has brought me clouds with tears like rain
