Emotions worn tight on a string

Displayed as though some badge

It is heart exposed nerves, red and raw

Worn like the youth’s bling bling.

Its trigger as elusive as

The things that expose its beat

Through tears that down one’s face flows

The future gauged in life’s past

The mechanism carries life’s thoughts

When eyes well up with tears

It relieves pent up frustrations

Then release the feelings sought

One should not restrict the flow

Of emotions red and raw

Be not ashamed to feel release

For feeling is the way to grow
