A young lady was kidnapped by goblins and imprisoned inside a crystal box. Through her sadness, and loneliness, from being trapped inside, she began to cry. She cried for such a long time she became a pool of tears and escaped the confines of the cyrstal box.

Tears in a Crystal Box

All my hope has now abandoned me,
Crystal box which now imprisons me,
I was told to "Suck it up, don't be weak",
Now I find, nothing is more healing than grief.
Nothing is more healing than grief.

No one’s here to tell me that it isn’t right,
I’ve been saving up these tears all my life.
And now they’ve come to
purge my soul at last.
Never thought that they’d come spilling out of me so fast.
Tears are spilling out of me so fast...

And now, I can’t stop,
Teardrops flood my prison,
Make these walls seem like illusions.
And captors like ones who feed on delusions.
That I handled myself so well,
And I needed no one.

I’ve had my eyes closed for so long,
That all my hidden fears have come to life.
And as my tears force eyelids open,
The spell that seemed to trap my every thought is broken.

Something strange and almost mystical is in the air,
My clothes and hair are dry and I’m no longer standing there,
I’m floating far above the crystal box and I can see,
Only a box of tears twenty feet beneath me.

It’s like a miracle to have the chance to feel again…
No shackles holding back the instinct or the freedom.
The inner strength I feel is something like salvation.
To feel anything, after so long, is salvation.
Salvation.
I was…
Afraid to feel...Salvation.
