JUST LET IT ALL OUT

Slide into the abyss
where nothingness is the norm-
no crying
no sadness;
no anger or disappointment.
The sun will not blind you
or burn you.
The air will not choke you.
Your heart cannot break.
You may speak without hesitation
or repercussions.
You may sleep for a thousand years.
Time does not matter.
You have no obligations here-
no one to answer to,
no pressures,
no "have to's".
And when it is time to leave
you will know.
You will return
and you will function again-
refreshed, renewed, reborn.
But there will always be a place for you here-
to serve as your sanctuary.
To be the escape from your fears;
to come when your heart needs time to heal.
Come now, let yourself go.
It's alright to need this place.
Hurry, before the meltdown.
Hurry, before you slip to the other side.
We cannot reach you there-
there you are lost forever...
