Tears

so simple and complex

like the waves of the ocean moved my tectonic plates

Tears

such a burst of weakness

like an innocent child unable to feed or clean himself

Tears

just an overflow of emotions

like a rain storm bursting with thunder and lightning

Tears

such a useless waste of time

like picking up pebbles and gravel to build a house

Tears

so earth-shatteringly painful

like the devastation of a tsunami engulfing the crowded land 

Tears

such a loss of self control

like a poor child trying to eat with Tourette's syndrome

Tears

just what I need

like a snake bite in the middle of a great day

Tears...
