The Worth of My Tears
August 23, 2014
Catch the tears as they fall,
or they'll be broken glass;
such little drops they are,
but they can contain. . .
so much pain.
Do you know,
the worh of my tears
as they drip
and slip
from my open eyes?
Catch them as they drop,
please know the value of my tears;
maybe they don't have
a lot of value,
but they still have value
nonetheless. . .
Just please. . .
know the worth of my tears,
as they turn into little glass
and tumble
and shatter
onto the ground. . .
for you and everyone.

I was going to comment on those because I actually thought they were supposed to be part of the poem! I was going to say that I loved the way that those computer defaults showed up, making it seem like this one person was writing an email to another. The computer was defaulting and acting all crazy, symbolizing the storm going on in the persons mind. I loved this poem.

Thank you so much! ^_^ your comment means so much to me, also ^_^ this is the first time someone has said that my word choice is excellent, and again I thank you so much! ^_^ I wrote this thinking of tears, because as a little girl, I used to cry quietly. Not for me, but for someone and for everyone. Two weeks ago, I wanted to cry for someone and everyone, just because I missed that person so much. Haha I'm not sure if any of his made sense, but I thank you so much again! ^_^ : )

Thank you so much! ^_^ your comment means so much to me, also! To be honest, it was short at first, but I thought maybe I should continue it a little bit more, so I made it longer. The line "know the worth of my tears, as they turn into little glass," was a line that my hand wrote on my own. Haha if that makes sense. Thank you so much, again! ^_^

I love the analogy between dropping tears and broken glass. The analogy creates bright imagery which makes it all the more enjoyable to read.
People should know the value of your tears. Your tears are valuable, and each time you cry, whether they are drops of pain or tears of joy, each one is valuable and full of worth. Your tears are caught and put into a bottle, each time you cry. Someone always know you're crying, even when it feels like no-one knows. Your tears are worthy. I just hope someone here on this world, knows the worth of my tears, when I cry. Haha, I might write a poem about tears, human tears that is.
