Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

a-to-z-letters-e is for…
 
Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw oh this light
and we know it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall

Do you ever really need to cry, but just can’t?
Happens to me all the time.
 
The real irony?  I can cry over just about anything that’s not important:  a TV commercial, a movie, a TV show.  But when it comes to letting go and just crying about stuff that matters to me, I keep it in.
 
I think it’s because I’m afraid to be vulnerable; with vulnerability comes the possibility that you might be hurt.  And I definitely don’t want to be hurt!  Not anymore.  I’ve done enough hurting for a lifetime.
 
But today I cried.  I allowed myself in the moments when I needed it, to just let go and let the tears fall.  Their salty tracks dried on my face feel pretty good.
 
I’ve fallen in love with Emeli Sandé; enjoy her rendition of the Coldplay song “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”.

  2. I can't cry when I'm sad. I feel that I have to hold it in and use that energy to resolve the issue rather than sit down and pour it out. If I can't resolve it, then it's better to learn to accept it rather than foolishly mourning a thing so constant as the rising sun.

    I know these thoughts aren't right and sometimes you need to just let it all out, it's healthier, but I can't stop having them.

    I think maybe that's why I cry at cartoons, movies, and books: I get to express emotion over their situation without acknowledging my own.
