A Lump In Your Throat

Crying is easy

You let yourself be vulnerable

You open your heart to something new

you allow it to consume you

the only time you ever do

because there's no harm in crying

there's no harm in being tired

but not when it turns into a lump in your throat

the painful feeling

knowing you cried to much

to hard

knowing now that you let it out it hurts more

don't regret it

embrace it

it shows you are still alive

it proves you cried out what needed

you let it go

let the pain go

let the sea out

waves are meant to be ruff

but still the sea is beautiful

wait to calm down

the waves will go away

the lump will go away

you'll feel better

things may not get better

but you'll feel less

of the heavy weight of it all

Don't be the lump in your throat

staying stuck

be the tears

that flow gently

be open

Because your only human
