Silent tears
Tears are rare like gemstones don't you think? They're not easy to come by so they must be cherished. We don't search for them intentionally and when they come to hold a grip on us, we let them out so easily. How I wish they can be treasured up somewhere visible to us so we can all avoid them. Tears are powerful I must confess.
But believe me they come in degrees: crying, laughter, sobbing, wailing and ultimately silent tears.
If you have a Yoruba mom, you must have heard this saying that "heart wound brings about unending tears". I believed I should see my mom cry each time she complains that my way of life sometimes causes her heart pain but no mama is always with dry eyes and I wondered why. Don't get me wrong: I didn't mean to see her cry, I just wanted to see what degree it will be.
I have come to realize that silent tears don't require a person to tear up but that constant sorrow you get each time you remember triggers it. What more is agonizing than this? I mean there's problem recognition but the person in question has decided not to solve it thereby inflicting pain on the third party. It's really sad and I wish I realized earlier.
Self inflicted pain also births silent tears especially that one thing you can't tell anyone that is really heating you up. Sometimes it's a harsh and stupid decision you made like I did sometimes ago.
Yeah, that's silent tears that always begat empty smile but who says that heart wound cannot heal up once you take the right treatment. Ain't you tired of the pains that come with them? Then begin that healing process today, your entire life depends on the choice you make after closing this article. It takes time so it should start now!!!
This writeup is phenomenal I must confess! Tears have ways of healing wounds too- if allowed to flow!Thank you
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel it's satisfactory to cry what you feel out, they help you ward off the wounds you might be up against
ReplyDeleteYeah, tears either heal you or break you. But this time it's the one that beats you so hard that you don't want to wallow in it for long but keeps you stuck in there
ReplyDeleteYes, crying out help forget pains you've held in your heart for long....it okay to cry out sometimes so that you will forget a particular pain, sorrow or sadness
ReplyDeleteSo touching... I must confess, sometimes tears feels like the only opportunity to ease out a great deal of the pain one could be going through at the moment.
ReplyDelete....hmmm.... Asf...your wounds don't heal if you don't open up to others... It's okay to cry but it will tire you out one day unless you decide to let it all go by opening up.... Beautiful piece

ReplyDeleteHmmmm true talk
ReplyDeleteCrying helps to pour out pains and emotions especially when you need to forget and have a free mind about the issue... nice writeup
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Thoughtful
ReplyDeleteHmm.... Witty write up
ReplyDeleteAm thrilled, nice write up, sometimes tears might be for a positive reason and some people prefer to cry out their pain instead of allowing it heat them up, either ways tears are to be cherished, nice work
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Tears tho... It's painful anytime I cry cause most times I don't want to cry but then I cant hold it so they just come without my consent, I think the degrees of tears depends on the person's personality and the current situation that begat the tear... I think wailing is for moms but me I do silent tears.... ///
ReplyDeleteA very nice one here
ReplyDeleteHealing process is every essential to every wound and the first process is crying it out as much as u want... Then eventually come out of that crying phase and start accepting reality...
