Crying Is a Release

Tears fall from my eyes,

As pain deep inside me lies.

I try to hold it in,

But the tears just begin.

They flow like a river,

My emotions, I can't deliver.

The sadness, the hurt,

Feels like a constant alert.

Crying, they say it's weak,

But it's the only way I can speak.

The tears, they tell a story,

Of a pain that's too much to carry.

I cry for those I've lost,

For the memories that are now frost.

I cry for the ones I love,

For the pain that's too much to shove.

Crying, it's a release,

A way for my soul to find peace.

The tears, they may be salty,

But they wash away my melancholy.

So let me cry, let me be,

For in crying, I am free.

Free from the pain, free from the strife,

And ready to embrace new life.
