Tears

I never cried as a kid... I held it all inside of me acting like it didn't exist. I didn't want anyone to see me cry because I thought that it was weak and I had promised myself that weak was something I would never be. So I pushed it all to the back of my mind and started to figure out ways to make it go away. I tried to cope without actually feeling anything and eventually something inside of me broke. Holding everything in, acting like everything was okay shattered my spirit. Now it seems so stupid because everyone cries sometimes even the sky cries when it can't handle anymore. No one ever told me that it was okay to cry. That crying didn't make you weak it just meant that something was important to you. No one ever told me that crying helps it filters out those feelings and makes them easier to deal with.
