I guess one of the biggest life lessons that I have learned is that crying does not equal weakness, but instead each tear I shed is a word that is too great for my heart to express. It's an extremely cleansing process that allows me to release without the fear of judgment from anyone. Recently, when I was in an especially bad place and I could not stop the tears from flowing, no matter how hard I tried, I began to write. And while I was in the midst of the pain. My thoughts are inhibited and pure emotion and this is what flowed from my soul:



Drowning in my own tears
Trapped in my own mind
Unable to heal
Unable to escape the pain
I feel myself suffocating
Until finally
I succumb to it

I see that familiar abyss
It feels like home
Welcoming and warm
I feel myself slipping
I know I shouldn't
But this pain is my master
And I it's willing servant


This was a difficult lesson to learn because for so long I thought that crying was just wallowing in my situation. Nothing could be solved by shedding a tear, right??? Well I was dead wrong, because what I finally learned was that through the pain and the tears, there is a breakthrough. By acknowledging how I truly feel in the depth of my soul, I am able to conquer that pain and learn from it.
