It Has To Burst Forth Eventually

It has to burst forth eventually The pain It is too much to bear internally The rain

Day after day, you fight Swimming against the stream Day after day brings fright And makes you want to scream

They look to you with hope Because they call you, “Doctor” We give them to hold a rope And a chance to breathe easier

But we keep losing the battle We can’t keep them from dying Too often we see death’s rattle So eventually, we can’t stop the crying

And we cry, we scream, we fall Feeling that we’ve failed once more We cry, we scream, we fall Because we can’t keep it in no more

But it has to come out, you see Else the beast will engulf the soul The sobs and tears make us free And make us again be whole

Each of us has a different straw That breaks the back of our heart The tears can never be a flaw Else the grief will tear us apart

It has to burst forth eventually The pain is just too much to keep in It is too much to bear internally Thus let them go, when the sobs begin
