My Phoenix bird tears


Go ahead and call my tears ‘weak.’ I will show you how my smiles draw in the brightness from the preceding tears. Laugh at me when I cry on your shoulder covering my face with the hands, I will show you how much time I buy to smile again from the tears I shed.
People say, courageous are the ones who hold up their tears not letting them escape their pent-houses. For me, courageous are the ones who could let a tear freely flow irrespective of time or place when it lines up in the eyes.
It needs a lot of physical strength to hold up a tear. It takes even more mental strength to let it just flow, knowing that people are eagerly looking at you, and their curious eyes are demanding for the story behind the open flood gates. You may be the daughter who silently cries to the boarding-room pillow because you are missing your family who lives far far away. Or you may be the lover who, sitting on a bus-stand bench, pour your sorrows out because he broke your heart. Tears just make you feel better like a fresh bath after a heavy day’s work. They can only refresh things up, but they can never become the remedy.
When everything else seems to fail, having a good cry and emptying your heart, can help you figure out things. But tears alone cannot perform miracles. You can make a person stay with you, with your tears, but your tears cannot round up that person’s heart from wandering beyond your radars. Tears can reflect your sensitivity and your empathy. But if you are a regular crier, people will take it as your weak point.
If your tear-glands are functioning well, you should be grateful as most of the people who are labeled “stony” are those who can’t cry not because they do not cry. Releasing their sadness and depression is a difficult task which can even drive them crazy. If the people are to choose between to cry and not to cry, the majority will be in favour of crying as it washes away your wounds and stops bleeding that cannot be treated by a doctor. Your tears are phoenix-bird tears and they do have healing powers when it comes to the scrapings and smarting of your own soul.
