My Soul Weeps
My tears are welling up deep within
How much longer will they runneth over
Before they fall out
Into an endless river of sadness
My crying inside try to seep
Through the dams and barriers
Of heavy metals of fortitude
Trying to float away from mourning
My dispiritedness searches through
Many years of entrapment
Under the chains and bars
Seeking for true happiness
As far as the abyss of my inner self
The anguish and heartache
Lives through and through
Wishing to be dispelled into the sea
How long I yearn to release these teary waters!
How long I ache for the forged blockades
To set my anguished, bereaved spirit
Alive with freedom, love, and peace!
