why it’s okay to cry (day fourteen)

why it’s okay to cry

 

because we’re human

and we possess the ability to do so

 

if it was not natural for us to do this

we would not have been given eyes to see

ears to hear

and a heart to react to everything around us

 

it’s healthy

 

like a river

we flow

 

and like a river

it hurts to hold it back

 

tear down the dams you’ve created for yourself

out of fear of exposure

 

out of pride

and fear of appeared weakness

 

especially if you are trying so hard to be strong for everyone

 

they are uncomfortable to wear

and constantly leak anyway

 

and do nothing to hide the emotions that everyone can see

 

you wear it well

but only if you allow it
