Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I just cry. It's what I do. It helps to clear my thoughts, cleanse my soul. I cry because I'm happy and because I'm sad. I cry because I need to, want to and sometimes forced to. Have you ever held back a sob? Why does it hurt so much? Your head throbs, your whole body tight against the strain of it all trying to come out. You feel better after a good cry.

I was once told to cry is to show weakness. But how can that be weak when it takes so much for the tears to fall? All your energy, emotions and thoughts, all packed tightly inside yourself and finally, release. No. It isn't weakness. Weakness would be to never experience your emotions at their most basic. Tangible feelings, cascading, overflowing. Oh definitely not weakness.

Crying like a baby. It feels good doesn't it? We should all give in to ourselves. After all, crying is the release of everything we are, ever could, ever will be. Each tear that falls is a little piece of how we feel. Without that release, we are not human. We are nothing.
