Release

Feeling suffocated,
Pressured, stressed, depressed.
Feeling like I’m going to break
Like I need a release.
A release of tears.

The feeling that I need a good cry,
Wanting it, willing it,
Wishing it would come.
So I could just let go.

Adding to the pressure,
Stress, sorrow, joy.
All the reasons I always cry,
My reasons for the release.

The tears won’t come.
What changed,
Have I cried so much
I no longer can
Not possible, crying is my release.

I need to be able to cry
But the tears won’t come.
Praying for the release.
