Would you rather feel sadness or rage?
I would rather feel sadness
Because I can express that feeling
Without hurting anybody

Some people would rather feel rage
Because they think sadness makes them weak

What they don't know is
Rage is sadness
Twisted up in the heart
It cannot run out with your tears
And so
It kicks and hits
It punches a wall
Or a face
It tries and tries to find its way out

But the thing is
If you cry for long enough you won't be sad anymore
But rage doesn't run all the way down your fist when you punch
The roots of it are wound up in your heart
And it eats at you to grow strong

When you cry
It shakes your heart
And all the rage comes tumbling out
Running down your face
And when all the tears are done
Your heart is open
And when your heart is open
It grows strong
