Tasting the sweet taste of every bitter tear
That’s swallowed up by my drowning heart
As it gasps for air
I drown it
In despair
Trying to shut out and numb its pain
I’d rather do it alone than ask for help
But my heart fights to live again
Asking to live again
Fighting to feel some pain
And FEEL again…
I was overwhelmed at the time and didn't want to cry. So, I suppressed my feelings. Then, I prayed. Felt relieved, because I was reminded that I do have feelings. Hiding them won't solve anything...
