Let It Leak

You work on the dam wall,
As the pressure builds up behind it.
Fearful of letting anything be exposed,
You patch every potential leak.

But when the dam gets too frail and ruptures,
You’ll see how strong you are 
As the all of the contents leak out and
Show the world your true strength.
