Not a tear has fallen
From the brim of my eyes
Cause they gather in a puddle
To the back of my heart
It’s hidden far away
From probing fingers
From the clutches
Of life
To walk
With a bucket of sorrow
Is to walk
With a bucket of led
My heart finds pounding
A struggle
Each bang causes
A rain to be shed

That sweet melody
Is a harm
Wafts through my ears
And lifts up my heart
In a hum
The bucket is tipped
Water pours out
Eyes streaming
With tears
A sigh of despair
And a sigh of relief
My sorrow has gone
And escaped

The author's comments:
We try to hide our sorrow. Bury our tears. Afraid to feel. Sometimes we just need something little to set it free. To let go of the burden, become a better person without something holding us back. Because it is ok to feel, if we let those feelings free and not rule us.
