Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

If only we could all smile

The tears fell and fell and fell
You would think my face was raining
It started at 4am and went on from there
No-one will ever understand my life
That is okay, but I could cry rivers
Hopefully, the ocean will welcome my tears
with open arms and bring stunning glory
All will finally be erased in a fulfilling way
I will move on a changed person and at peace
I will be what I search and strive for daily 
I wish no complex turmoil like this on anyone 
I wish for happiness, love, and fun for everyone.                               If only we could all hold hands and smile!

CayCay Godwin March 9, 2026 at 9:26 AM While I hope this isn't your current state, I know such is possible because we all reside there at times in life. As poets, we can have therapy writes, let it out. I cannot express how much I relate to this, have many poems expressing these feelings. A very good write. Please always remember not to forget to let joy in again, pain and joy ebb and flow. Sometimes I am saturated just as your words express. Heidi Sands March 9, 2026 at 9:31 AM Hi Caycay. It was today. But...i have have had some good breaks. Yes, writing is therapy too for me. I appreciate your understanding . Thank you :)
