Tears

Tears are like tiny droplets of emotion
They fall from big blue eyes
Face red from crying
Sometimes the tears stream down
Rage and sorrow creating a storm inside and out
Sometimes the tears trickle down
Depressed and lost in spiralling thoughts
The great big world becomes too much
Tears become blood
Crimson drips from the cuts
Do I even really matter at all?
