Stored emotions weigh heavy.
These are the burdens we carry.
Stones that lie in the chest gathered over time.
We use them to build barricades and dams.
Barren lands where nothing grows.
We collected the stones and then used our tears
of sorrow to fuse them.
Now the walls of our kingdom are so high, no one can enter,
no matter how hard they try.
Stored emotions become a self-made prison.
And they will remain until we remove them one by one.
