Stagnant Nerves

by reJoyce   Jun 8, 2008


**FYI this is about my inability to cry not how much i cry, just so people don't get confused**

My desire to cry
Is a need and a want
It's less of a struggle
And more just acceptance

My brain sends signals
To generate tears
But my nerves are too lazy
And exert no effort

These withheld drops
Condense into a reservoir
Held hostage behind my eyes
In a still pool detained

Then each of them evaporate
As I look into the sun
And all are soon forgotten
Until the rain.

    I liked it.

    It kind of reminded me of science while I was reading it. Haha. Maybe I'm just weird, but I thought it was pretty good.

    `` That was really pretty unique. I've never heard it before.

    Keep writing!

    Short poem, but you did use the title like I expected. :] I liked it. Cool imagery indeed. I must agree with you on that one. I don't know what else you could do to make this poem better, possibly make it longer? Expand on your topic more? I like longer poems. :] hehe. 5/5 though :) Nice work!
