It can begin with a word,
That sparks en emotion
or a thought.
And from that one word
a flood of feelings
are set loose
and pour out.
A torrent of
memories, thoughts, feelings, emotions.
that had been bottled up
for too long.
And all it took
was one word
said at the right time
to knock a hole in the dam.
That dam you had been building
to keep you safe
from whatever it is
you felt you needed to keep out.
One word
and your worst fear
is now your reality.
