Tears are Held
Contained by the fears
Of so much pain
Too many times
Impacted
Layers upon layers
No escape or release
Learned to be silent
Seen and productive
Yet no voice to express
Injustice betrayal
Broken trust
Broken heart
Where do you start?
With glimpses of starlight
Another way can be
Truly alive, courage to thrive
Dare to be honest
To delve deep and feel
See where I've been
Brave to see, to believe
Let tears held, gently melt
Rivers release and free me
