Why Must The Eyes Be So Stubborn?

I walk quickly
I need to get away
I need to get rid of all this anger
My eyes won't let me release it
There to stubborn and proud
But I need to find a way to release it
It's tearing me apart
My heart can't take it
It needs to release
I start to run
Focusing on breathing
But I still remember
I still remember the anger and pain
I run faster
But I can't get away
But still I run faster
Until I collapse on the ground
It works
That is until I stopped panting for life
When my lungs stopped hurting
That's when my heart started to hurt again
I get up
I walk over to the tree
I punch it
Repeatedly
Every punch represents a memory
A painful memory
With each memory the rip in my heart grew
My fist start to hurt
But it was nothing compared to my heart
So I punch harder
And harder
Until I see the spot where I was punching
The colour is dark red
I look at my knuckles
They're ripped open
Just like my heart
The tears well up in my eyes
Before I could not release them
But now they just pour out
The eyes have given in
They've stopped being so stubborn
Unable to stop them
I just let the tears run down my cheeks
I sit down on the ground my back leaning against the tree
Just letting the tears run down my cheeks
Not bothering to wipe them away
My heart feels better
The anger no longer rips the holes in my heart
For now
The heart hopes that the eyes won't be so stubborn next time
