It's Okay To Cry Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Suffocating it is to act strong
And actually be flaccid
To stretch your lips into a smile
When they are to tremble
To say you're perfectly fine
When you are drowning

When the world
Comes crashing down
And your dreams violently break
Before your eyes
It's okay to let out a cry
Before you pick
Yourself up again

When your heart breaks
And the glass pieces
Pierce your soul
When you're in pain
And it's all too much
It's okay to fall apart
Before you rebuild yourself
