let me cry

weep for you
if only i could, i would.

people don't want to cry. i know.

in the entire year, i have not wept. cried, yes. over movies. music. books. or people. but really, i long to weep.

there's just something very cleansing about tears. no no, i'm not mad. try to understand from my point of view.

there's a reason why they say 'an outpouring of tears'. there's such a release when one weeps. man or woman, tears are not a sign of weakness. as Irving wisely put it, “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”

of course, i DON'T WANT anything bad to happen but i feel stuck. blocked. stuffed up.

jeremiah lamented.

david grieved.

weep for you
if only i could, i would.
