Tick-Tock

Crying; I've always found it such a delicate thing. So full of emotion that your body pushes it out in the form of liquid crystal. It's truly a beautiful thing until you open up your mind and ask why? Why are these tear streaming down someone's face? Pain, sorrow, loss, fear, love, guilt, or just plain sadness. I've always found crying such an interesting thing, really. The sound we make is just a few pitches off of laughter and the tears always come to an end. We're always so close to happiness even in our deepest moments of despair. It's almost as though a clock is slowly ticking in the background, telling us to suck it up and smile. And that's just what we do, we smile, and put on a brave face for the world. We all cry, it's an aspect that nature created but why has humanity come up with the sick idea of confining it? Would holding it in truly benefit us or just drive us even further from sanity? All I'm suggesting is that the clock in your head is softly telling you, "Tick-Tock."
