They say, It’s okay to cry Because You need to let it All out. And when I did, It wouldn’t stop, I couldn’t stop, I had no control And it burned. Cloud full of tears Planting seeds and Growing thorns Around my body twisting in knots I couldn’t untie. I knew That being in this house Was trapping me, Boxing me up like old toys Put away, tucked shut. I felt cornered With no way out, No way to escape All the feelings Inside me. I was short of breath, Close to out of it. Upset as I was, I needed to turn it all off And put an end to it, the agony. So I took a walk in the rain At four in the morning Still dark out But I had to get out Of the house. But finally, Finally. I felt release Through The fresh air breeze.
