having someone see you cry


till now

tears have been troublesome


but that’s not true

tears

are the body’s way 

of reminding us

that we need to calm down

and think through things



tears

are a way of showing us

that we have beautiful thoughts 

which struggle

to come out as words
“vulnerable”
a strong word

which comes with tears

it means 

“at risk” 

or “in danger”

tears don’t put you in danger

they surround you

with safety

and let others around you know

what you may be going through
they are the most natural way

of revealing silent emotions 

otherwise sheltered by words and fear
