More Than Meets the Eye

she runs down the hall 
she is meSsY 
she is LouD
she is an extrovert 
no, she is not 
just because she is not shy 
does not mean she sometimes wants to cry 
being sad and feeling low has crossed her path but I bet you didn't know
stop 
stop degrading people based on what YOU see 
stop guessing my emotional IQ
because there is more than what meets the eye 
because sometimes I want to cry 
even though I am not shy.

Hello Honora Great, there is nothing wrong in crying. Big girls do cry, big boys do cry. It is a form of healing for the soul. Enjoy your day my friend.
