Tears need time
Rain needs space
Let them both fall
Upon your face
If you’re crying
You are living
What you feel
Is some grieving
Where there is loss
And heartfelt sorrow
There is a lesson
And a moral
It’s hard to want
What you can’t have
And nothing ever
Makes you laugh
Hurting symptoms
From abuse
Selfish wants
Are obtuse
It doesn’t matter
How you feel
The truest pain
To you is real
Confused, bewildered
Out of place
Hurt, shocked
So misplaced
Brought to you
And served from others
These are the ones
We call our brothers
Some intentions
Are quite accurate
Some are trying
On some wit
Environment
Society
What’s around
And what you see
Brought to you
Without your blessing
This is your life
And it’s compressing
You can’t stop
What is around you
Emotional
Is inside you
Allow the storm
To bring the tears
It’s ok
They wash fears
Every raindrop
Ever formed
Needs a place
To be born
And when they land
They form a puddle
But after time
It’s just a drizzle
The space is needed
In between
Puddles don’t fall
Nature is queen
Living the storm
Rain takes space
And time for tears
To fall down your face
After the storm
The crying is done
The space that was taken
Is replaced by the sun
You will be ok
With some time
When you are ready
You will be fine
