An Odd Serenity
They are clear yet unclear
like strange diamonds
that twinkle without light
A vague mix of anger, sadness, fear
expressions of my minds
they sadly dance in flight
In darkness they bask
to soften my demise
I let them fall willingly
and marvel at the secret task
to get my sought after prize-
An odd serenity.

First I read the poem, I thought it was really cool and I didn't know what it was about. My interpretation was that it had something to do with sad feelings and I could relate to it. Then I read the thing underneath the picture to the left and, knowing it was about tears/crying, I appreciated the poem a lot more because it expressed "crying makes you feel good" in such an artistic way.
The rhyme scheme was unique too. Kind of hard to follow for me at first but I'm used to song lyrics lol. but after rereading for clarification I could get into it and understand it better.
The only thing i might edit was "anger, sadness, fear" and find stronger nouns that are more artistic and moreso convey the meaning that the rest of the poem does. Or maybe you used simple words on purpose?
Anyway, great job!
