People say when you cry, it shows your weakness

But the tears I cried made me stronger, because I never shed them again for the same reason.

Tears; the thing your parents wiped from your face when you were little

Tears; the waterfall that mixed with her mascara when the boy broke her heart

Tears; the wave that crashed when a family member dies

Tears; The water that dripped form your face when the world was crashing down on you

Tears; The object you used all your strength to hold back but you couldn't

Tears; The droplets that fall on your casket the day you fall down 6 feet under

Tears; the emotion your tormentors wont show you

Tears; the thing we become ashamed to let go of, and that's exactly why the come anyway.

People say when you cry, it shows your weakness

And I believe them
