We try to appear bigger, stronger and greater than the storms in life.
We avoid, we ignore, we suppress our stinging wounds
Sometimes we seek temporary relief
Too often, we find ourselves in the same place
The same fear.
But hey, sometimes - it's okay to hurt.
It's okay to admit you are needy
Because to admit that means you are being honest
Better yet is to admit it to the person who can help you
If you don't tell the doctor your problem,
He isn't going to force his needle on you.
Cry, it's okay to cry.
Because the skies cry all the time.
When they stop crying, though
The trees are refreshed
The grass is greener
The air is fresher
Sometimes, you can also see the rainbow.
It's okay to be weak
Because from weak, you can be stronger.
A dear friend once told me
To be molded by God, you must be a wet piece of clay.
She said you must drown yourself in the presence of God
In the goodness of the Spirit.
Right now, I think being a wet piece of clay
Also means letting your tears out
Let the truth flow out
Because you are never crying alone.
