a tear
from fear
will not disappear
through the pain
a constant
year
to the cheek
adhering
wiping
it smears
another tear
this fear
sincere
wiping, it too
smears
another
another
and
another
fear
those things
i do not want to hear
may i wake in a year
to the tears disappeared
a cry
of defiance
in silence
the fear
a tear
in the constant voices
i hear
brings
the fear
a tear
labouring for life
my conscious spirit
fears
shown in
a tear
