Grief

What is it that makes mourning difficult?
Why is it so hard to let yourself cry?
perhaps we have been taught that as adults
sadness is weakness to hide deep inside

Yet sadness is often quite warranted
and also felt by affected others
somehow this emotion is unwanted
and so we hide it from one another

When finally we allow tears to fall
we feel a great sense of instant relief
we are sad but are not alone at all
and we can properly begin to grieve

yet once we have mourned and are whole again
we forget that we have learned this lesson
