It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

By: LuvMiFreely

(Hour 4)

Bottled up feelings 

Sealed tight

Afraid to let any of those collected tears to leak out

All the years of pent up angry

It all fills the bottle to the brim 

No room left for anything else to go wrong

You pull it out when you need a reminder

Of the memories you’re afraid to let go of

You grip it firmly 

Protecting all the chaos

You’re scared for everything to fall apart 

Again…

But this time as you stare at that bottle

The tears forming in your eyes cloud your vision

There’s no place for them to gather

As they run down your face

Onto the security net you protect with your life

The wetness of your tears causing the bottle to slip right out your hand

You watch as it shatters

Forcing you to face the fact that you can no longer hold it all in

You allow yourself to feel every emotion that you’ve been denying

Cry 

It feels good to let go
