or mere,

They show that we have challenged our fears,

They show that we can make our gruesome burdens feel less fierce,

They show that we care for our dears,

Some show it some don’t but everyone cries,

They don’t make us weak or mere,

They show us how we have changed within these years,

Tiny things, “Tears”

They make us more strong and more fierce.
