All of us have methods to cope with strong emotions. Most of us decide to bury the feeling deep down inside. We decide not to show or address those feeling. But sometimes somehow it comes back. And the result..... the result is a massive tsunami wave. This poem addresses those waves of emotion and tries to motivate the readers to address it as well.
The water receded as i retreated
Into the rabbit hole that alice created
The trickling sand that clocked my being
Watched and watched at the ocean fleeing
Cups and saucers all over the place
Would memories of reality breiefly erase
Escaping from life, frayed from the track
Till a crushing trigger brings me back
I ran and ran and ran as far
As far as i could with my wits at par
Untill i stopped beneath a giant wall
A wall of water ready to fall
And i would be crushed beneath the sea
No matter how hard i tried i couldn't flee
The waves crashed right over my head
And i drowned in the water as predicted
The muddy sand under my feet
Gave way to hell underneath
And i tried and tried to fight the tide
But the monstrous emotions spread far and wide
An overwhelmed mind sought refuge in silence
While Deeper and deeper sank my essence
The trigger was small but the past subdued
Increased each small prick to a vast magnitude
The escape was a temporary relief
The symptoms were treated but not the disease
Emotions tend to break afree
Unless confronted as they should be
Help the ones who tend to withdraw
Accept each emotion, pain and flaw
So that they can swim against the tide
And find land again and live their life
