Transformative Tears

I shed layers of myself as I cry
Tears cascade down my face
Without fail, at such a rapid pace
It is a release
A beautiful disastrous one
I do not cry in front of any one
For sometimes it is too much for me
I could not fathom how it would feel
For another person to perceive
My tears are powerful
They allow me to move on
I cry over the seemingly minuscule things
That appear to be meaningless
-Truly they mean so much
I feel certain things to an extreme extent
Empath I am
I would not trade it for the world
I cry tears of despair
Agony
Aggravation
Utter disbelief
Euphoria
Contentedness
Disgust
The depth in which I feel is so heavy
My tears weigh tons behind my eyes
Before they fall
It is never a weakness
If you make me cry
My tears will turn to fire
They will burn you just as they burn me
You will burn alive
You will drown in the flood you inspired.
