a healthy way to release emotions

when times get tough

and life is rough

Toughen up buttercup

and hold your tears in place

for crying will make you seem like an attention seeker

Is all I have ever been told 

so even with the knife to my skin

tears cant seem to form 

for crying is hard for me to do

but it seems now with all I have been told 

 are lies

for Crying isn't a weakness

but a way to release an unbearable emotion 

Like how I'm feeling right now
