A solitary tear trickled down my cheek today I couldn't fathom the reason why I quickly turned my head from my co workers So no one would see me cry. I found a quiet place to be alone To search the reason within my soul Only to find I just cried harder Like I was losing all control I spoke verbally out loud to my aching heart I said " Hey, what's up with you?" I can't deal with this mess right now I've got a job to do My heart spoke back and said he could take no more For I had bottled up so much pain And it was time for a release of the madness And why my tears began to rain So take time to listen to you inner soul And let him have his way Give thanks for the cleansing gift he gives It will save your life someday
