All Humans Cry

don't cry

it'll be okay

calm down

that's what
they always say
but not me

cry away

let it all come

gushing out

tears are pain
liquified
and released
through the eyes

they run 
down your face

they drip 
off your chin

there is turmoil
on the outside

but

there is the relief
on the inside

so let them come
falling down

I promise that
you will not drown

you are not weak
your tears are strong

it takes bravery
to face 
your emotions

and

to accept
you are 
only human

and

all

humans

cry
