remember

sometimes i tell my friends that some movies make me cry. they ask which, i answer and sometimes they laugh, they agree, or they ask me why.

when was the last time you cried

when was the last time you cried because you were sad, your heart was hurting

when was the last time you cried because you were lonely as you tried to find someone in a crowded room

when was the last time you cried because you were angry, your face is so red from screaming 

when was the last time you cried because you were so touched by the words youre reading

when was the last time you cried because you were so happy, you couldnt even say a thing

when was the last time you cried because you were so entertained by the memories youre recalling

dont forget

always remember

the moments when you cried

the reasons why you cried

the people who watched you cry

the people who saw you cry

you are who you are because of these

always remember that other people cry

remember why they cried

you dont have to hurt to learn.

dont be afraid to cry. 

tears are just emotions that overflow from your heart out through your eyes. 

for people to see and to show that we are all human.

i pressed play and this is what i heard.

24 oceans; 24 skies; 24 failures; 24tries

24 find me; in 24th place; 24 drop outs; at the end of the day

life is not what i thought it was 24 hours ago

still im singing spirit take me up in arms with you

and im not who i thought i was 24 hours ago

...

i want to see miracles, see the world change

wrestles the angel, for more than a name

for more than a feeling

for more than a cause
