Buoyant Tears Cry Solace Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Buoyant tears cry solace
Floating upon dreams
Emotional in hope
Fantasy world
Here I am



An oasis built
Deep within this mind
Away from all the pain
The past I hid away
In a void once beyond repair



The ups existed
Cherished them all in full
Always hid the down the best that I could
Never wanted anyone to feel low
Protected sorrow self from all other surroundings



Distant painful memories cannot defeat me
Worked so hard to feel anew
I cannot lie, they are still there
But to linger, that is something I strive to never do



These tears are trophies
The battle scars for a better tomorrow
Creating memory fissures on this skin
Holding the deep waters in all its depth
Controlling these emotions
All by the newfound peace within



Depression, A strong enemy
Strongest opponent against this will
It will never give up, this I know, neither will I
So someday something will have to give



I will never give in
No matter how hard all may seem to be
Even in the darkest times, there is light
Even if I have to force my imagination to go there
The grace of these dreams will shine stronger than ever before


Someway, Somehow


Buoyant tears cry solace
Floating amongst dreams
Emotions fighting on
Real world
Here I am



No matter how much pain I feel
These dreams will never be taken away from me



Buoyant tears cry solace
Proud to say
They will always cry with me



These tears will never fall in defeat
They shall always flow reigning in victory



Down they go
In all of their glory
As every weak moment builds strength
Towards the formidable future
Where every battle is there to win



Buoyant dreams cry solace
Putting them in the wishing-wale of all of my dreams
Dropping pennies from these thoughts
As I fix this heart till it completely mends



Buoyant dreams that cry solace
Real world, fantasy world
Here I am!
Never going anywhere but up



This oasis within my mind
Goes down directly to my heart!



The pain remains
But this soul will always remain strong!




Sometimes you have to lose to win
To better the whole self
Towards the spectrum, the beginning of the end



Buoyant dreams cry solace
Making me stronger than ever before!



Buoyant dreams cry solace
And that is why I will always win



The big picture is set in motion
And this journey has yet to even begin



Buoyant tears cry solace
May all good fortune soon be revealed!



Dream strong or never dream again!
