It's Okay To Cry.

I always thought that crying

Was a sign of weakness

And I could never let it show

People think I’m so strong

But I’m really not

I’m just a broken girl

Hiding behind a mask

Looking for a way to hold on

To have some kind of hope

And to live on

No emotion ever shown

I held it all inside

Until you came into my life

And showed me many things

But one thing you said broke me

You saw right through my façade

My perfect mask cracked

When you said;

“It’s okay. It’s okay to cry.”

And for the first time ever

The emotions that I held inside me

Burst free in that single tear flowing down my cheeks

I smiled when I cried in front of you

And I told you;

“Thank you.”
