There

silently
I cry
in the shower
where
I lose
all my emotional
power

don’t
have to
hold up too
strong
my secret
place taking
no one
along

there

tears
flow just for
me
trickling down
the drain
free

they
are tears
I need to
cry
with no one
to question
why

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

Perfect place of sanctuary. And I thought I was the only one. If I have to really let it out, I get in the whirlpool and turn the jets on so no one can hear. A private cry is good medicine sometimes! Great and touching verse.
Sincerely,
Regina

Excellent use of a metaphor, oh boy, do I ever relate. Once again, your writing moves me.
Have you ever thought of getting your poems published?!

A good cry is good for the soul.

Seems something others, including myself, relate to much. Be well.
