TEAR

TEAR

 

I am a black diamond with a dark flaw

so deep in my heart, never to be healed.

Will it destroy me or be my saviour?

I don’t know. I weep silent tears and pray

to my gods and goddesses to release me.

I saved Shi but who will save me?

I need understanding and help with me being me.

But I can do it, be happy with a kindred spirit

and grow for the future.
