Analysis of Real and Imagined Tears
When I am very sad, I get
Two different kinds of tears;
The kind that is so very wet
And mental ones with fears.
The liquid tears can blur my view
Based on the circumstance,
While mental tears can blur things too,
More often than one chance.
The liquid tears with little time,
Will slowly go away.
But mental tears show me that I'm
Not free of them today.
