I don’t shed tears
Not for pity at least
An occasional drop from laugher
A stream flow from onions
A medical droplet meant to improve my eye sight
Those are tears shed along with tears from past sorrows
.
I don’t shed tears
For fear of being called “weak”
To avoid the misconception aligned with being a “woman”
To avoid the gaze of pity
And to avoid using them as a tool to obtain
Those are tears shed in secret
.
I don’t shed tears
For my joy detest grief
An emotion frequent with lost and pain
One which swells the eyes and wrinkles the flesh on my face
One which forces one to crawl into the darkest pit of their hearts
No, I don’t shed such tears.
