Worthy Tears
I have not given up.
As time goes by
It seems others haven’t too.
Letter by letter
Book by book
Sending money to my account,
I shed a tear.
I thought I was forgotten.
I read the letters
I love the books
It’s money well spent.
I expect more and I’m given less
I can’t say I’m not blessed
People give me their best.
[ struggle with being grateful
I struggle with patience
I struggle with love.
I’m stuck in a hard place
But I keep saying I’m tough.
I fight my tears
When I should let them flow.
Are they worthy?
I guess we will never know.
Being tough does not mean holding things in.
True strength is knowledge and letting things flow
Be strong and let your tears go
I’m closed in with so much fear
I lied to myself, my worthy tears.
