![thesetears-poemimage.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRprdgNbaXQtmfHjok8DX1MpynNq1nVNP3N5XbMxX9jvn/thesetears-poemimage.png) ## ORIGINAL POEM ![poem.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSuU9NYhCK1dH6ED5Xega16RdxEV3gXcR9Hwuts4rtTBS/poem.png) Tears can no longer fall from these eyes           Immune to hurt I must be                    I see the anger, the disgust                             Peering back at me consistently
                                          Have you fallen so far from that tree                                                    to be deemed different than loving?                                                             The selfishness masked is unbecoming                                                                         All masks eventually develop cracks
                                                                      Pools have been filled by past tears                                                                Memories I no longer hold on to                                                        Although daily I am reminded                                                that I'm vaguely a consolation prize
                                      An ego to an egoless man                            Distinctly sabbotages the good it can               During moments of joy and bliss It teters above looking at what ifs ![poembottom.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTZGXRT5YexUNWD2yPgTjPZfX9nkpsKwt85KKZJTtEMa6/poembottom.png)

I hope you enjoyed my writing. I used to always write poems, all the time but have fallen out of it and are now just sometimes a more peaceful way for me to process feelings and such. I have begun to play with lyrics and such over the past few months so I do believe poems in a way can help me so I will try to write a bit more. Thank you for reading, and as always... ![muchlovesig.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUanajfycRhGyNex83jQVPYduh1sebgtefofJTXtygvfF/muchlovesig.png)
