Tears flow like water
Pouring over rapids
Rough and raging
Briefly slowing until
They hit the rocks again
Determined to wear down
All that lies beneath
Like a cascading waterfall
Tumbling down into despair
They disappear….
Merely a drop
In the sea of sorrow

Simple yet so heart touching. Sometimes it’s amazing how some words which might not be big or new feel so relatable while some flowery language doesn’t fit in our brain.
Beautiful !

That’s the most difficult thing in this 21st century,
To be real and vulnerable

I agree, but I’ve come to realize, it’s the only way I can be. Emotions are who we are. We should be able to release them without fear. 🙂

Being vulnerable doesn’t mean we are weak. It means we are much strong to accept our scars make them blossom like flowers.
Much power to you Lady!
