We Can’t Cover Our Ears Forever

We can't cover our
Own ears forever...

There are many
Reasons and a
Number of things
That can weigh
On our hearts
Some of us may
Be able to get over it
Quickly and easier
Than others
Some of us seem
To have a tendency
To bury the pain
And go about our business
After a while
We will find ourselves
Forcing a smile
So no one will see
How terribly hurt
We are inside
Sometimes we feel the tears
Burning our eyes
Then quickly pull
Ourselves together
Because we may be at work
Out having dinner
Or it's simply just not
The time or place
But one day
One day when
You least expect it
Everything that you've
Shrugged off
Tucked away
Held inside
Will surface
It could be
A memory or
Something or someone
Just rubbed you
The wrong way
And when that
Moment happens
The volcano in you
Will erupt
Oceans of sorrows
Sending a tsunami
Of tears crashing
On the shores of healing
Because the music
Of sadness crys
Louder than the
Songs of happiness
