THE STRENGTH TO CRY

Who are you to tell me
That crying makes me look weak?
That's a lie.
Who are you to judge my emotions?
You have them too.
You're not Superman, after all.
Or maybe you don't feel 
Like I do,
Like everyone does,
Because you don't seem 
To understand that crying 
Is a source of immense strength.
The courage that it takes 
To allow yourself to be hurt,
To experience pain
And sorrow
And to learn how to move on,
That is the truth.
You just haven't yet found
The strength to cry.
