I wish I could cry to relieve myself,

But tears seem so difficult to trickle down my eyes,

Poignant memories fill me so I wish I had someone to cling to,

A comfortable shoulder to cry on, an embrace to give me confidence,

A kiss to put me in into perpetual calm,

A smile to give assurance, sense of belonging –an ‘I’ll be there for you’ feeling,

But it’s a pity I seem to be in a desert, filled with sands of unhappiness,

As I watch the ugly vultures close by,

Impatient but ready to feast on me when I fall,

My eyes really should have tears so that I could cry myself to relief,

But I need to let go of my pride, the pride that holds back tears –tears of relief,

So that I could stand up even in the sands of unhappiness,

And strive to find the oasis of joy,

Where I could soak my tattered garb, worn out with the toils and pains of life,

Where I could wash myself and drink gleefully from the springs,

And then the disappointed vultures will be laughed and scoffed at by me,

Then peacefully will I lie under the shades close by shades of satisfaction, smiling to myself and enjoying the sunset.
