Memories Beyond the Door

Blinded by tears that refuse to flow
Cornered by fears that refuse to go
I stand alone,
The emptiness inside is not a sign of calm 
rather forbades the approaching storm,
The pain of loneliness is no longer a respite
the cup is full now… needs to tide
I need a shoulder to cry on,
To wail, to weep, to sob, to sigh
to breach the wall that stands so high.

I really like this one. It speaks of that pain that we just sometimes feel so strongly. GREAT last two lines.

Congrats!! That was beautiful. Sometimes you have to let your emotions out. Tears are not weakness. It shows strength to admit that you hurt. Very nice.
