Emotion kills me slow inside,
And chokes me with its tears,
Straining pain that takes its stride,
Cuts deep within my fears,
Tears that surface to the edge,
cut deep like painful scars,
They hold on tight retrieving life,
And poisoning life like cars,
Strength is needed for thy healing,
Strength is fearlessly bold,
Strength has keys to open doors,
That breathes new life to hold.
