LET’S TALK!!

Why is it so damn hard

to go to a person and talk about pain

Why do we all keep silent

and not express the sadness we feel

Why do we suffer in silence

Why don’t we laugh over our pain

Why do we hold it in

and never let out the bottled-up pain

Maybe talking is all it takes

for all the pain, sorrows, and grief

to go away, to vanish, to disappear

Is it supposed to be kept inside?

Is it never to be talked about?

Or maybe today, let’s talk about it

and brew the pain, all the grief

with the brewing coffee on my kitchen stove

all let it out; let us be free

from all the suffocation it has caused inside

Let’s talk!!
