TEARS FOR OCCASIONS

Sometimes we shed tears from joy, tears from pain;
Sometimes we produce tears and we can't explain.
A baby cries, it's their way to grab attention;
It's up to we adults to decide, is it real or is it pretend.
Tears come from anger, they come from emotions;
Some people are just spoiled, just creating a commotion.
Sensitive people cry and some appear to be cold;
No matter how we react, tears have a story to be told.
I may burn my hand, that definitely will hit a nerve;
Whether I cry or not, it will throw me for a curve.
Sometimes tears are a warning sign, proceed with care;
It is not a sign of weakness, but a way to tell others to beware.
No matter what causes a person to produce tears, one thing is for sure;
It is the body's way, to cope and endure.

There it is again,
the unavoidable burning in my throat
that signals the trapped emotions of tears wanting to escape.

Quietly they fall, disturbing nothing.
No trace left behind as they vanish.
Yet their existence holds so much.
