Tears shed in the eyes are painful, but tears shed in the heart are even more so. How cruel it is when both are inflicted upon you!
Oh God, those moments of weeping are harsh, intensely painful, especially after long suppression and immense pressure!
It’s as if you’re waiting for the chance to be alone with yourself, to break into a bitter crying fit… to the point where you feel as if your heart is screaming between your ribs, almost bursting out of its place.
Your sobs are almost deafening from the pain of the suppressed screams inside you.
Your tears are falling like rain without stopping, as if you are in a state of complete collapse.
She’s utterly bewildered.
Was all of this inside me that needed to be released ?!
Does so much silence and suppression do this to us ?!
Does so much pressure and endurance lead us to this state !
We push ourselves to an unbearable degree until the final straw breaks the camel’s back, and we explode in an instant!
We continue to endure, our hearts crying from the pain of stress, our minds screaming from exhaustion, and we ignore all those voices that come from within us, asking us to have mercy on ourselves.
