You hear it
Often
From friends, family, anyone who wants to help
"Tears are Healthy"
They say it lets your feelings out
But they don't talk about when
you want
to keep
them inside
because
it's
safer
Safer for you
to just push them down and
save them for when you can be alone
safer for them
they don't know what to do to help
because all they can offer
is words of comfort
and maybe a hug
when you just need
a little time
to not exist
before you can be
who you want to be
