The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

Have you ever thought about what is the music of your heart? What are the things that help you to get through the hopeless nights? What tells your friends you need awakening?
See, tears are the eyes of the soul.You have to open your eyes to see clear. I don’t quite get why crying is considered bad, it’s beautiful. It’s the most honest thing in the World, the most truthful emotion person can have. Don’t condemn them, admire them, guard them and spread them for the right reasons.
Putting tears in one category is unfair, cause it’s so much more than just one emotion. Tears include so much emotion – love, caring about something or someone, sadness, happiness, pride, betrayal, belief, disappointment – and these are just few of them.
Why do people watch sad movies? Because the feeling after crying your soul out is refreshing and priceless. The enlightenment you feel after realized what the deep moral was, the appreciation for what you have instead of wining about what you’re lacking. Even the part when you feel sorry for yourself – it’s beautiful. You’re beautiful when you cry, you’re sincere, you’re amazingly beautiful.
Tears are a part of being sorry for thyself but it’s OK, cause no one else will. Look them in the eyes and don’t fear crying. No, it doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve been strong for too long. No one should ever in their lives apologize for crying. No. Crying is the beauty sleep for the soul. It breaks you, shapes you and shakes you.
Dare to cry. Dare to be honest and true. Dare to cry for the ones who are in need, cry for those who are alone and lonely, cry for those who lost it all, cry for yourself. Be selfish. Love. And tears are an essential part of love. And they are beautiful. They prove your affection. They prove your repentance.
Your eyes are the mirror of your soul, don’t let it be false, wash the window, darling, to see me brighter. Wash the mirror to see yourself more clearly. Use the eyes of the soul to look in the mirror. Look yourself in the eye and be proud, be proud of every tear you’ve shed, be proud of every mistake you have made, be proud for every sin you have done. Love everything you do. Shed a tear for that too.

Most beautiful, thank you.
I would like to ad: Not only dare to cry, but dare to open up to someone who is crying too and accept the tears as natural.
So many people still feel uncomfortable, scared, angry, etc. when they see someone cry and many clamp up and run because of it.
I am glad you added this Ravenwallsdotter, people often shy away from and feel very uncomfortable about people who are depressed or are in mourning. That is one of the reasons that I always tried to hold my emotions in, because nobody seemed to want to talk to me or spend time with me for fear I would cry. People really need to get over that. Also people react that way when people are terminally ill as well, they just can't seem to deal with mortality either so shun the dying. We humans collectively has so much to still learn.
Beautiful and touching post. I so agree that shedding tears is very healing and good for the soul. I have had a great deal of tragedy in my family in the last year, and kept trying to fight all the tears that were so close to the surface. Somehow I felt that to just break down and let all my grief come out that somehow it would break me or make me weak and unable to go on, I hurt so bad. So I took all my sorrow and pain and shoved it as deep into my psyche as I could because of fear of dealing with it, and fear I would never be happy again. One day it all caught up with me, I just could not put on a happy face and try to be strong anymore and I collapsed on my bed and I cried for the whole day nonstop. I could not eat or sleep I just cried and cried and cried. When I finally stopped I fell into a deep sleep and slept for 22 straignt hours. When I woke up I felt so much lighter, and it was like I felt alive again and not walking around emotionally numb and in pain and no longer felt like my heart was going to break any moment. I realized that the tears did not destroy me after all. I felt so much better. I am still sad but I can look forward to the future again without seeing only sadness and longing for my deceased family and am taking one day at a time. Those tears made all the difference and now when they creep up on me, which invariably they do when I think of my mother, my father and my son being gone from my life, I let the tears flow and am not afraid of them or expressing my emotions anymore. Tears and healing and holding them in can only harm you, I found out.
