Unknown Tears

May 6, 2023
By Anonymous

Eyes stung but held them back

Chest gets ready to explode, but keep it down

Finally, just let it out

Warm drops of water, fall down

Rolling across my cheeks, one by one

Wish to make a sound, but can't

The droplets fall down on my sleeves and desk

Wipe them away, as quickly as I can

Then leave them, as unknown tears

I was crying in my room when I grabbed a pen and started to write down my feelings. It's a short poem but carries a lot of my emotions.
