When rays of happiness peep not
When life abysmal moment makes me hurt
When I couldn’t scale through amidst shark
When I voice out, incessantly given mark
I’d fall and make them flow freely
I wipe them not, they succumb to be tears of worry

When I fail to lay egg
Like other chickens who never beg
Their dexterity dwells within
Mine, already caged in cistern
Even when I feel a comic relief
Tears drops, for I’ve been deceive’

My joys felt tampered
For once, I’ve never been pampered
Scars of sorrow liveth in my heart
An hitch-hiker I’ve been in this earth
My abode was marred when I liveth as a bee
My offsprings; lashed out, not given a fee

Tears roll down my cheeks while I sway
I thinketh of he that will wipe it a day
For it’s now my hubby
We wine even at lobby
All I needeth now; a survivor
Who can tell his odeal, mayhap, i’ll hold on to a mentor

Mayhap the tears in me shall one day stop flowing.

Mayhap the scars on me shall erase without me derailing.

Maybe I’ll still smile, and there will be no more crying.
