A Dry Lake

A Dry Lake I never thought That I would miss something That I wanted to get rid of for so long I realized that it has been a long time Since I felt droplets of salty water Escaping my eyes Landing on my pale cheeks I used to be tormented by them I wished that I could control them I tried so hard to fight them I wanted to stop them for good I was teased for letting them escape Each time I felt blue or vexed They thought I was weak But the fact is They were a reason for making me strong My tears are dry I need to cry To release all that pain But I cannot anymore I lost my power Under a bright sun Beneath a clear sky During a joyful day All I wish for is a moment with tears But I turned into a dry lake I'm a dry lake N.B.
