If Tears Are Painful No One Would Cry

Like everything feels calming and fresh after the rain, so the human heart and soul after crying.

Tears are God’s blessings, for they are not merely drops of water but carry an ocean of suffering, pain, regrets, and sometimes happiness.

But I wonder,

How serene life would be if we could just cry; when we want to rather than craving for someone to listen to us. For tears are the words, the heart can’t express.

But tears are beyond our control. They seldom fall when we need them most.

They do shed, but not when they’re needed; instead, when they’re despised. Like they fall before those who never deserve to know us.

They make us appear weak, not because they are a sign of weakness, but rather that we have no control over them falling where we don’t want them to.
