Cry

Cry

A Chapter by Lonicera

Cry

Dont cry 
this is what we hear 
from the time we are birthed.

Dont cry
we are told under a hushed voice
scorned if we cannot swallow back the tears.

Dont cry
we are shamed at times
to be an adult and not be lost to this.

Salty taste
the rawness in our throats
redness of our blurred eyes as we try
to not cry.

Cry
let them hear your roar
let your tears hit the earth like rain.


Cry 
say what is on your mind 
there is no shame in this emotion.

Cry 
this is natural 
as we are only human.
