Grief swells within me,
And I plunge into it's depths,
Glad for the release,
Surprised by the intensity.
The long forgotten past swirls in my body,
As my tears let go of what no longer is.
A trigger to something deeper,
A moment of solace,
Self-expression at it's most raw.
I allow the feelings,
And I allow myself,
Because I know that to heal,
I need to feel,
To break free,
I need to break open,
To learn,
I need to allow,
And like a butterfly emerging from it's cocoon,
I know that this chaos leads to transformation,
Leads to a beauty so powerful,
It can fly.
