Shedding tears openly
And weeping like Niagra Falls
Is the only way to let grief out
Don’t hold onto tears at all,
For tears are not for saving
So don’t go trying to fight them back
Emotions are something that we should never lack.
Be brave enough to show your pain
For everyone to see that you are not devoid of love compassion and humanity.
For when we cry an ocean it helps to assuage the hurt
It helps to cauterize the loss of a broken heart.
So don’t be fooled by others who say that tears are a sign of weakness
For those who do not let them go are prone to emotional bleakness
They are repressed and fear the fact that letting tears flow will make them less
So they end up living a life that is completely love oppressed.
To afraid of letting go or letting anything in
I feel sorry for these people and hope that they one day begin,
To see that sharing grief and sorrow is not an act of the weak
But understand it is something good
That frees the human spirit.
For freedom from the pain and hurt and this outpouring of our love
Helps those all around us who feel they’re suffering to much.
It helps with sharing empathy shows them we’ve been there too
But found a coping mechanism
That ensures that we don’t lose,
The battle with this harsh cruel life as it sometimes appears
And helps us find the beauty and love just behind the tears.
