Give in to your grief
Allow the full force of your tears
To flow unimpeded like a river
Don’t freeze up
Or lock it all inside
Don’t believe those who tell you
Its better to put on a smile
If really the smile is not yet the result
Of allowing yourself to be real
Honest and true
To all that lives inside of you
I speak as one who knows
Who was taught to hide
To fear self expression
And lock the way I really felt inside
I learned to fear that anger and grief
Would come with a tide
Of disapproval from others
But in denying me my feelings
They denied me true life
And forced the truth into addictions
And much as I tried to blame them
They were not at fault
Just teaching what they learned
But now I know
That freedom only comes
When we give in to what we feel
And allow it to drop us to our knees
And find the real
For only through doing so
Through this kind of surrender
Can we find the way through
And allow life to carry us forward again
Find the strength and courage
To rise again
And live a fully embodied life
Yes! Let it all out 💖💖
