Between Coffee & Affection

ten ღ it's alright

the frustration
eats at her alive;
she does not know
what to do with it
so she sits
and she cries.

she cries and cries
until
her face is shiny,
her voice is hoarse,
and her body is empty.

not only do the tears leave her,
but the frustration does as well.

the headache she receives,
is only a minor pain
compared to the anger she felt
only moments ago.

she feels her heartbeat in her chest
and she sees herself in the mirror
and she knows that one day
it will be alright.

'it's alright,' she whispers,
and this time
she starts to believe it.
