crying used to be harder

when I was younger


now it happens so easily;

I can barely see


it floods my vision

     and stops me from seeing

what's beyond the horizon

     that will end this suffering


if I could battle the tears

I've shed throughout the years

     would I have been able

     to feel more stable

or would it add onto my fears?


Yet tears are a healthy thing.


toxins within the body

are released through crying


and wounds within the mental

are changing from brutal to gentle

     as the tears build

     and the glands are filled;

do not let yourself be judgmental.
