EMOTION

Tears are stored up
For the big cry
'Wonder when it'll be?'
Lumps in a throat
Swallowed with pride
Pushing farther into the
Deep, rushing tide

Rage and anguish
Following close behind
Interrogating the soul with
Seething heart and mind
Who dares to comfort
The wild child within?
"Not I" said the unkind
