It All Comes Out

eventually
it all comes out
the ways in which we break up inside
flood out through the eyes &
down the cheeks,
regardless of the loneliness or
whether another might be in the room,
the self-doubt is the same,
the wreckage gets rolled over
again & again,
like some monster truck at a rally
for you & you 
alone---
at these times the bleeding inside
is obvious to all
but the possibility of healing
seems so far off
that one can only smash into a 1000
pieces
momentarily &
as an attempt at positive perspective
dukes it out with overwhelming pessimism,
of course, deep deep deep
within,
we all hope that the positive will win out &
another day will bloom,
but we don’t always get what we want.
