Sometimes I just want to cry
For a waterfall
Or a flood
To wash away my pains
Remove the imperfections
To destroy the things that hurt me
To let go
To let go of someone’s hand
To watch them disappear
I just want to scream
To wail
And shout
For the thunderous clouds to rumble
For the lighting to crack
To hear the earth moving
Scraping
Groaning
I want to see fire
To see the light flicker
The smoke to rise up
To see the world all aglow
But not to burn
I want the world to be peaceful
To be green
To see the life around me flourish when all I want to do is wilt
I want to see trees reach up towards the sky
To see flowers bloom
For fields to overgrow the ruble left behind
I want to see life grow after disasters
As a reminder
To know
That life prevails
That destruction doesn’t last forever
That life gets better
That it comes back slowly,
Then all at once
I just want to feel
To feel the sunshine on a cold day
Too feel the cool rain in the sweltering heat
To feel the soft ground on my aching feet
I just want to feel
To feel freely and fully
To not hold back
To be free
I want to feel like a bird flying in the night
Close to the stars
Closer to the future
And to never look back
