A Sea of Tears
By De'Angelo Hampton

Walking slowly into the blue future,
A question in my mind that I always ask:
"Should I just start to run
And take whatever comes my way?"

Running swiftly into the dark future,
A question in my mind that I always ask:
"Should I pause to think about
Why I feel so unsatisfied?"

Slowly turning on my left heel,
I realize the things that I do not have,
But I try my best to ignore
That which I lack

And to keep swimming
In the sea created by me,
But it isn't created by a million particles.
Instead I have realized:
Not even water.
It's just made of my tears.

Am I scared,
Or do I just have a fear?
Lately someone told me
That there is a difference.
Yes,
I know.
It is fear.
I fear that I have no family.

Is that really what I'm lacking?
Or is it only what I cannot find?
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Or just not trying to look?

It will bring me tears
to fulfill the sea I am in.
I claim myself as one person,
But should I be alone?
I love helping romance,
But when will it come?
The time it will help me?

Please reply, romance.
I don't know what it's like to have that someone to be with.
And I see everyone except me
Paired with romance.
I return to my sea.

How should I respond to it?
It still hasn't replied,
So I have grown impatient.
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
All I know is that the crying won't stop

Happening.
I can't control it.
So much has happened down the road,
I want to lose hope.
But a voice far away tells me:
Until romance comes,
I will just keep crying.
I will just keep crying!
