a while ago,
I smiled so wide,
a couple of teardrops fell
from my eyes.
for a moment,
just a moment,
I wondered
why.
with no weight
in my chest,
I almost thought
I could fly,
and stride among
the clouds
with my head
held high,
without fear
and doubt,
I could dare to
cast my die,
to take life by
the hand,
give my guilts
their goodbyes.
for a moment,
just a moment,
until I remembered
why,
and ever since
that day,
my eyes have remained
dry.
