Or by suppression of subordination
It means being destitute to lose all your dignity
Means no one can possibly read your concealed suffering
Only through tears will notice you exist

Nobody knows tear beyond its definition
“A drop of the clear salty liquid that is
Secreted by the lachrymal gland of the eye
To lubricate the surface between the eyeball and
Eyelid and to wash away irritants.”
“Something dripping from eyes gliding over the cheeks
Presenting someone’s emotion”
Not knowing overwhelming stimulating sources
Means some burning flames
Generated by pain, by joy, by lost or
Sorrow for a disdain incident
Or by suppression of subordination
It means being destitute to lose all your dignity
Means no one can possibly read your concealed suffering
Only through tears will notice you exist
Tears, urgent extinguisher to reduce
The invasive depression
Tears, washing away irritants—but which ones?
There are so many irritations
Some could be washed away by these little drops
And many of them profoundly burning
The totality of
Sensibility of body and soul
Could never be washed with anything
We assume could be wiped off
But the peripheral exposure is not representing the dept
Of some long accumulated wounds
Could never be healed
