-cry-

When we cry
Everything
That was hidden
Is released

Pools of water
That we stored
Are pouring down
And staining us

The stains are
Everlasting
But they stain us
With freedom

We break down
And we scream 
But frustration 
No longer holds us

For when we cry
We cry the feathers of sorrow
That becomes a bird
And flies away
