Crying is such a blessing We underestimate the beauty of the salty rivers streaming down our cheeks Reminding us that there's still a piece of us that wants to get better To weep is to release the pain To stay quiet is to hold inside what should not stay within us I was once on the cold floor Looking up from below A loud silence hovered over me And I could not weep There was nothing to come out it was so deep within my soul; The blade released what has been stuck But now I feel everything Release everything And now I am sure that I am healing. These salty rivers my favorite taste The only release, pain's escape
