every once in a while i shed my tears as a snake would shed its skin releasing any part of me that i no longer need but no matter how much i shed my tear tank fills up to the brim and just like a snake sheds its skin 12 times a year i would need to shed it all again when i feel myself being constrained and my heart feels heavy with burden a cycle that seems to never end but i trust that one day my tear tank will stop filling up with tears of sadness instead, it'll be filled with tears of happiness and my heart will only know joy as it rises through the pain
