While my I eyes are dry when I am awake
My tears roll down when I dream.
I cry in my dream.
Tears of Joy
Tears of Sorrow
Tears of Anger
Fear
Worry
Anxiety
In my dreams I cry these tears.
Yet my eyes are dry when I am awake.
Why?
Why do I only cry in my dreams?
Why can't I cry awake?
Have I used my tears in my dreams?
Have I taught myself not to cry only to shed tears in my dreams?
Why am I stuck between the desert of my reality and the puddle of my dreams?
Why?
Have my tears run dry?
Have I simply unlearned to cry by teaching myself to be strong?
Then why do I cry in my dreams?
The answers I will forever seek
The answers I will never know
Until then...
I will continue to Shed Tears in my dreams
Until then...
