Cry Your Heart Out

Spill your emotions onto the floor and look how they glow, showing all the beauty you try so hard to keep inside your mind, and your heart.

because you don't want people to know you are human, that you feel. For them to think you're made of steel gives you power. But when the doors shut and the blinds close, what do you do?

It’s just you and your feelings looking at each other, a part of a whole, but feeling split in half because, well, you don’t know each other.

Keeping feelings hidden during the day, and ignoring them as you sleep, because hey, what you don’t know can’t hurt you right?

I love to hide from my feelings and everything that makes me feel vulnerable because it’s so much easier to say, 'I’m really good' instead of 'you know what, this week has been tough.'

But there’s something soothing about being completely open and vulnerable with someone. It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket of someone’s love and open ears, allowing you to share anything, no matter the weight. Because you know that when you’re in this blanket, you’re safe.

So I chase that feeling. Not necessarily for myself, but for the people around me. I carry this blanket just in case anyone around me is frozen in their thoughts, and I wrap them in it any chance I get.

I remember that not everyone carries a blanket and that it’s easy to look in the wrong places to keep warm. It's the places overlooked that hold the most warmth.
