Crying
By: Northern Beggar
Crying. verb
to shed tears
secreting of a bodily fluid through these tear ducts
i hate crying
thats some weak ass emotion shit
my freckled face is tumble weed dry
these chink eyes wouldn't be able to squeeze a drop of water for your charity cup
my granite cut body
is all rock and bones
she asked me "why am i so strong, because she never seen me cry"
i will never tell her that "i am too weak, and never strong enough to cry"
poets... cry
but im a gansta ass poet
i hide these emotions under my hoodie eye lids
and saggy bags
i know gansters cry too
through bottles they pour on dry ground
my umbrella eyes are dying to get wet
but my face is too use to being wiped with dust
fish bowl full belonging to oceans
drowning above water
too afraid of carving riverbeds through my granite cut face
these eyes can see the whole world
but wants to let go some times
like atlas, he too is too weak to let go
crying
to shed tears
secreting of bodied up emotions through my tear ducts
im crying inside most of the times
thats why this granite cut body is 80 percent water
my iron arms are strong to carry my chin
but when wet like metal
will sink into face
my face is mid June dry
must be because i was born that month
my fingers rain dance on my cheek bones
hoping for deliverance
but i will only give snow
because that is nature trying her best to keep her tears from touching earth
it falls so slowly
i wish my tears can fall as slowly
so i can catch them before it stains my face
my granite face
is too brittle for liquid sorrow drills
i tell my sister
don't cry i doesn't fix anything
be a big girl
but now i am afraid that she will forget how to when she is older
because we all need to cry sometimes
but i thought myself how to keep out of high water
how to keep my cheek bones thirsty
how i wear drought on my eyes more than my glasses
crying is so beautiful
like how the rain needs to replenish the parch skin
my lover
i told you that i hate when you cry
it looks so ugly on your pillow
but when you shut your eyes
you can ignore the ugly of our world
and reflect on what beautiful on the inside
im crying on the inside
my granite body is trying to stay solid
but im dying in the inside
Crying. verb
i shed tears
on paper more than i will ever do on my face
my face is sometimes a sad poem dying to let go
