How long can you hold onto a weak railing with wet hands? How long before it eventually gives away?
Where do you run to, when you have no safe space?
Today, even grief looks saturated with numbness all around, and emotions take a backseat with life trying to find middle ground.
People say we were born into this world crying for breath and since it’s been how we manage to breathe when suffocation wraps in.
Today we’re breathing loss and grief, holding the sky on our backs, tired of being tired.
Science would tell you crying makes it better, how good chemicals also christened as feel-good hormones would make home inside your body and relieve your shoulders from emotional burdens you never knew you were holding.
Burdens that weigh you down, burdens that need to be put down.
We are aware that the lighthouse is distant and the sail difficult. The storm will one day have to pass on, but right now the winds thrash a little too hard.
So, take a deep breath, cry out
Cry out to the sky and yell into the universe.
Demand answers and hold the heavens accountable if you have to. Cry and get that whirlwind of emotion out. Cry like a child believing in something beyond reason, something that never had a name.
Just stop caring for once
And let go of everything you’ve been holding for months
And if your shoulders shake too much and your knees fail, remember you are not alone. Never alone. We’re holding you with all our thoughts, love. Let it out.
