Tears in My Beard

A tear in my beard, silent stories untold

Lost in the shadows, broken, and cold

A tear in my beard, feels like a final plea

Loneliness surrounds me, nobody sees

Each rejection's a wound, history's etched deep

Fighting my demons, no one to keep

Echoes of violence, scars that still bleed

Haunted by past, unable to plead

The night stretches forever, no end in sight

Memories rush, stealing my light

There’s a tear in my beard, a symbol of pain

A battle within, losing the game

Walking through the darkness, searching for peace

Hoping someday, the tears will cease

Survivor’s scars, blue and black

Trying to hold on, no turning back

A story of hurt, of fight and flight

In the shadows, searching for the light

A tear in my beard, a silent cry

Still standing despite the why

One day I’ll heal, I’ll find my way

Until then, I carry these tears each day
