When tears alone just won’t do
it’s time to scream until the air starts screaming back
Wind howling like a vampire in the night
Thirsty for more though having over-feasted
Gluttony and selfishness galore
Purge.
When tears alone just won’t do
it’s time to channel the energy into something more
More of something that empowers
Provokes thought and elevation
Deeper learning and introspection
Growth.
When they fill your eyes, but just won’t over flow
blink them in to hydrate and wash away settled debris
until they glow
Seeing through the darkness
hearing through the noise
feeling through the numbness
clarity through chaos
Breathe.
When tears alone won’t do
Do for yourself
What you thought you needed them to
Love.
This is a beautiful poem! Keep up the good work!
