For a while?
I know challenges are meant to toughen us. That there are lessons behind it.
That I just have to persevere, have patience, pray for guidance, and never give up.
I know all these things.I know them all by heart.
But sometimes, knowing and doing don’t go together.
So, just for today, can I cry?
Can I let my tears freely flow?
I promise I won’t take long.
I won’t make a mess.
I just need to take a break.I just need to breathe.
The cry inside my throat rendered me speechless.
I can’t even speak a word, like “help”.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining
As I said, I am here for the taking.
I’m willing to learn.
I want to be stronger.
It’s just that lately, I can’t keep up with you, life.
It takes enormous strength to appear tough.
I need to stretch my cheeks for a smileI calm my own stormsI scream in silence
It is truly exhausting.
So, just for today, for a while, can I cry?
