The tear that rolls down my cheek
releases nothing but pain.
It releases all the pain I've kept
concealed for all these years.
I've kept it concealed out of fear.
Fear that the ones I hold close,
would shun me
just as so many have done before.
Left to confide in myself
using a blade to take away all
that has caused me pain.
Left with every thought of
the ones who gave me life,
dripping with disdain.
Left with one tear rolling
down my cheek as the
cycle begins again.
