Salt filled orbs, refusing to fall.
Locked behind a dam, they silently call.
For release, for freedom, for sweet escape.
But they are held captive, in an unbreakable shape.
A hurting heart, a broken Soul
Feelings too deep, to ever be told.
Eyes that deceive, a smile that hides.
The pain that is within, forever resides.
The tears that don't fall, leave an endless ache.
A burning sensation, that no one can shake.
They swim in our eyes, but refuse to spill.
As we hold them back, against our will.

The pain is still there
Sometimes, under the surface
It never quite completely went away
But it is fading.
Sometimes the burning itch
Reappears on the seam
Of my arms
But I tell it I do not need it
Thoughts about my weight
About my face
I cannot escape them
I can correct them
Eventually it fades
I am trying my best
