We were taught tears meant weakness
What is this toxic world we live in?

Tears wash away pain
Wash away anger
Wash away trauma
Frustration
Despair.
Like a river flowing against the tides
Like a catalyst of motion slithering in sight.
The only way to turn burial grounds into acres of flowers, is to stand in the face of despair
Arms held out
Surrender
And simply weep.
