Teardrops...

They just rise,
Little drops, one at a time
Like pearls, only not so precious
To anyone, but her

In the mirror,
She hates to look
Oh the horror!
Eyes red, face swollen

Stop, stop
I say to her, they are not worth
These tears of yours
The pain, the hurt

Laugh, smile and let go
There is no time
And no one to come and
Wipe these tears but you

Stand up, be strong
Face the world and make your mark
That alone should suffice, expect no more.
