It takes courage to write about tears without sentimentality. I like how this poem holds the dignity and tragedy side by side. Crying may be hard, but here it feels like release🤗

What a generous interpretation and observation my friend.

I wanted to write about those tears we have to hold sometimes. I think it can be tragic, but it also shows strength and dignity to hold from crying when it's not the right time, place or company. 😊

This one really gets me. A very accurate and beautiful portrayal. Just longing for care and getting cold aloneness. Because you are the only one you can trust to cry in front of 😔

It’s just so tragic when your crying is used against you.

Some silences are louder than screams.’ That line gutted me. I’ve definitely swallowed tears that deserved air your words made me remember them. ✨

Isn’t that the truth though?

It’s heartbreaking when swallowing tears turns out to be the solution because letting them out would be more of a problem. 😔

Thank you for reading and for your comment. 😊

Beautiful piece, so relatable. 💜

Thank you Liora.

I was hoping it would be cathartic for anyone who’s had to hide their tears at some point. 🙂‍↕️
