"Tears" By: Shawn Chase



Tears take time to parish


They begin as just thin emotions



And can end up trickling down the face of anyone



They say tears are a sign of weakness



But to me there a sign of compassion



Compassion towards whatever it is you may have lost or gained



Tears are like rain drops falling on your cheeks



They are the body’s storm



Tears come from any emotional state



They may come from that last goodbye at the train station



Tears tell people that you do care



Tears don’t fall



They crash around me

  1. Woah there. I didn't know Shawn had it in him to write something so deep. Well done. I think you did a really good job by explaining that even though tears are under the body's control like your nails growing and it just happens. Just like you clip your nails, you wipe the tears away. But you showed that there's something behind them, there's a reason why you cry. And for you it's compassion.
