Dedicated to bshetty1 for all her "encouragement" ❤❤

"How are you?" They ask
Not out of love,
But out of  basic courtesy
"Fine," you say,
"Fine," you whisper to yourself

They say crying is for the weak
So perhaps I am weak
For tears are my release
Back and forth
Back and forth I rock
Till the tears streaming down my face
Fall in pools

I cry and I cry
Till I can cry no more
So I just sit there
Numb, yet yearning to feel
Hugging myself
I stare into the darkness
Whether outside
Or inside my soul
I do not know

Wallowing in self pity did no one any good,
Neither did it harm, or did it?

But enough is enough
Wipe your tears
Wash your face
Get up now
And get sh*t done

You are strong, you're brave
Face this world
With a smile on your face
Because you know what?
You are enough.
