These Are Not Tears of Joy

These are not tears of joy
But don't assume that I'm mad
I don't know what the tears are for 
If I'm crying I'm not glad

These are not tears of joy 
So why do I cry all of the time
Maybe it's because of these people 
That keep on wasting my precious time

These are not tears of joy
They could be tears of love and hate
Or maybe just the simple fact
Everyone takes away my loves mate

These are not tears of joy 
Cause inside I yell and scream
But I'm never mad enough 
So maybe it's all a dream

These are tears of my emotions
Shakin and thrown in the trash
Thers no telling my hearts journeys
Or how long these tears might last
