When the dam breaks
And your walls come down
And the tears flow in torrents
And there’s no one around
Allow them to cascade
Down your cheeks
Don’t stifle the flow
Don’t think yourself weak
Know that you’re cleansing
Releasing – just breathe
All those pent up feelings
Simply decided to leave
Washing away the frustration
The hurts that you may have endured
Taking with them the toxins
As you surrender and purge
So cry it all out
And then cry some more
Don’t withhold one drop
Let that salt water pour
And when you’re done
You’ll feel so much lighter
Exhausted but at peace
You don’t have to fight it
Then nurture yourself
Snuggle yourself up
And show yourself
Some affection and love.
