Many Teardrops

Many times it may seem

As if my life is that of a

Normal child. But my heart is full of pain.

Yesterday took my hope when it went away.

Today brings new pain and disappointment.

Everyone says that hope

Always comes back. But I don't have a

Reason to expect that it will. For

Days and days I waited.

Rain falls and mixes with a tear

Or two.

Perhaps the day won't come for my last teardrop.

Somehow it seems I will cry many more tears.
