Cleansing my mind

             RELEASE

 

Those tears I tried so hard to hide,

Prepare themselves to be cried.

And, oh, I wish so fervently,

Their cause had never come to be.

They say it heals to shed one’s tears.

I have not found it so in years,

But now I cry those tears held in,

And cleanse my mind as they begin.
