With the heavy scent of salt
and the sound of marching boots
My gravity defying tears
climb the hill of raw anguish
I do not cry through weakness
this military movement is one of vigor
When puddles form on the summit
revealing reflective skies abound
A Sun of optimism shall fall captive
held by the sticky film of my hurt
I will pilferage the energy
suck dry the atomic seed
My journey home
down the winding slope
Will be one free of pain
and my strength reconfirmed

I agree! A lot of people (including myself) have a lot of trouble showing deep emotions. Beautiful poem!

Encapsulates it all. I have never had any problems showing my emotions and I hope I have passed this on to my children. Some lovely descriptive language.

Excellent poem and sentiment. I have learned the hard way that it is not "weak" to cry, ask for help or admit struggle. That is courage and often necessary to move ahead "free of pain..and strength reconfirmed" Great poem.
