Underneath the surface

Underneath the surface

I let it be there for all those years

A steady current collecting

What didn’t get resolved

I let it swallow all my fears

Thinking I could hide

What I didn’t overcome

I let it grow with my unfallen tears

Hoping they will never show

What I thought I shouldn’t feel

Underneath the surface

The salty water flowed

I let it be

I let it swallow

I let it grow

Maybe now

It is time

To let it go
