I Want To Cry

I want to cry

I want to let it out

Each tear

A reminder of my failures

Each tear 

Filled with my fears

Each tear

A bottle of sadness 

Maybe anger

I want to cry

And for it to all go away

I want 

All the bad feelings to

Escape me

In the form of salty droplets

I’ll have my tears

Leave streaks across my cheeks

Each one a path

That no one wants to follow

I’ll have my eyes well up

And when they empty

My heart will no longer be heavy

With sadness

I want to cry

And I want to be ok

    That feeling of bliss

    It’s not
