Bursting
December 9, 2021
Feel that pain?
Hear that thought?
Bottle it up.
Numb it out, silence your brain,
Close up the container.
Did you really need it anyway?
All it did was give you pain.
So bottle it up into a jar,
Shut the lid, throw out the waste.
What did it ever do for you anyway?
Clink and crack,
Tinkle and snap,
It’s breaking away.
That little jar holds too much,
To take you that far.
Hear it bend,
And hear it shape,
It’s too far gone my friend,
You can’t stop the escape.
Don’t try to stop the cascade,
Don’t stop the drops.
Don’t be afraid,
Don’t be,
Don’t be,
Don’t,
Don't,
Don’t
DON’t
Be
Me
Oh my dear,
Oh my sweet,
Let it out now. Let it out.
You are a feat,
And that, I will never doubt.
