clockwork

strength is truly in the moment when you're not afraid to cry.

when you don't care

about words that you have swallowed,

when you don't care

about what others will think and say.

crying is too often misinterpreted.

it is weakness,

they say. 

it is to be avoided 

as it makes you look foolish,

they say.

why are we trying to feel

mechanically?

because emotions just don't operate in clockwork.
