Waking Tears…a Poem

I have tears today…

easy yet hard to explain…

I have tears for the innocent victims…

I have tears for the innocence ripped from the lives of the shooters…

I have tears that are innocent….

yet my innocence is being drained….

I want to smell a rose…

I want to feel like a child again…

I don’t wish for these tears…

I wish for innocence….
