Necessary Tears

another heartache
the drama du jour
feels like the crisis of a lifetime
pounded down by hardship again
residing in a personal hell

oh, what a fresh, hot mess

it’s a lifelong process
a roller coaster of emotions
learning to traverse the pain
facing the trepidation
yet again, overcoming the angst

the release must come

a torrential outpour
of pooled fear
a flood of wet anxiety
thin, clear lines of human sap
so many streams of liquid frustration

until it finishes

after the purge feeling
lost and light-headed
slightly dazed
still riding the after-shocks
mostly exhausted

hope blossoms again

it’s the duty of tears
they lay the groundwork
for repair
to an injured psyche
needing to become rational again

  5. God, I can completely relate to this. The anxiety is simply too much to take some days. I’m glad that it settles down to a dull throb sometimes, otherwise there’d be no respite ever. Your words indicate that you completely get this, Susi. Thank you for writing as always.
