PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I hate when 

someone tells me 

"don't be sad".

I can't help it;

it's what I AM,

it's WHO I am.

It's like telling me 

to stop being human.

It's as much 

a part of of me as 

my eye color 

or hair color.

It's like my skin;

tears are like freckles,

permanently attached to me.

I can't change something

so ingrained in who I am,

the DNA of my soul.
