TEARS HEAL

When you find that you are
Out of love with yourself
When you feel like you
are no longer  loved
When you find it hard
To believe
That you have a purpose
When all the scary nightmares
Negative feelings
Traumatizing moments of your past
Come falling down on your head like a house of cards;
 A stain will be marked
On your dignity.
And all of this will always happen when you go
through new lows
When you deal with some heavy and rough blows
You will glance at the mirror
You will Pity yourself and stare with tears
In your eyes at the reflection of yours
That would make you recollect a glimpse of the earlier version of you
A version of you before everything was screwed 
And you will be left
Wondering how you messed the fuck up
How did you trap yourself into this situation
You would  sit  at that corner
Where you sit
Many a time some nights
And then cry a long tear,
 That moist
Your long dry face
The teardrop
That slides across your face
And reminds you of the disgrace
That your actions had wrought
The teardrop that drops to the palm of
Your hands as you try to wipe them off
The teardrop that despite being
Surrounded by the dark
Engages you in a quest
To find the light of hope and the warmth of faith
And makes you somewhat calm
And a lot more determined
The teardrops that bless you with the courage to
Come back stronger than ever
And just like raindrops
clear your vision
Clear the blue sky of your wishes
From the dark clouds of self-doubt
and  just like the rain
make you see the rainbow  as
Your tears   help  you  rediscover
your dreams to fly as
They help you become like the phoenix
Whose tears have healing powers 
Who gets burned?
Only to Rise again
