I dwell within my sadness
So that I may set it free.
To ignore it is to cage it
And so I let it be.
I let the tears fall freely
And I let my shoulders shake.
I feel it through my body
As I sleepless lie awake.
If I ignored my sadness
I would only let it grow.
Deep in my soul t'would fester
And I wouldn't even know.
Until one day some tiny thing
Creates internal clatter,
And my sadness cage clangs opens
And in that moment I shatter.
So instead I feel my sadness
And then by the light of dawn,
I set free all those emotions
And I'm no longer forlorn.

- Comment from author about the poem: I've spent too many years caging my emotions. To allow yourself to feel, is to allow yourself to get to a point that you can let go of those feelings. It's a hard lesson, and a harder experience. But it turns out that it's better than the alternative.
