Let Go to Grow

Don't forget to let things go.

Let things go so you can grow
And make room for better,
More beautiful things.

Let her cry

Why is it so hard to let yourself cry
So many times in life do we cry
A natural method of releasing stress,  tension,  grief.
Death and life,  our world recycles,  reproduces,  renews.
And yet when friend and family surround me,  to support me,
Tears hide inside my inner cavern
Bats feast on my inner tension,  my secret.
I climb on the mountains and I lift myself up above the ground.
You can not hurt me because I am strong.
I have faced death.  I have faced heartbreak.  
No earthquake can smash me down or crush me open.  

Tears were meant for our healing

And yet when rocks tumble down the hillside, filling in the gulleys and plains

I am strong. I say.  I am stronger than strong.

I am invincible and though I am hurting,  I am strong.

No fear inside me is enough to bring tears.  

When you throw rocks at my forehead and blood draws,  I do not waver.  

I am a boulder. 

No comfort can draw lava from my fissures,  I am a boulder.

Poison

 When you are drinking poison and you laugh, thinking it's funny because you like the taste.

So you begin to rationalize, "Maybe it isn't poison. Maybe it isn't poison..." or "Maybe if I only take one sip. Just a few sips.. Wait a while then take another sip later; Way later, maybe then.  Maybe it's been long enough.  Let me take another sip."
