What makes you cry?

Messy 
Painful 
Tears 
Running down your face 
When you least expect or want them 
To show up 
When your inner faucet somehow seems 
To have a faulty leak 
Why cry when we should be laughing? 
Why the mess when all we want is 
A clean slate 
Why the pain when we least expect it? 
What's the purpose of crying when all
It does is to show our weakness and 
Make us look ugly 

Humanity
Crying shows we're human 
When your child whimpers and tears roll down her face as she experiences 
Physical pain for the first time 
Her mother cries too 
Even as she kisses the hurt away 
It would be wonderful if all hurt could be soothed away by just a 
Kiss and a Hug 

When you see your best friend 
Struggling through issues of self-esteem 
Or facing the loss of a precious parent
You cry 
Because you're human 

When you see innocent lives lost 
For stupidly sensless reasons 
Lives that could have been saved 
And should have been saved 
But weren't 
You cry 

We cry when we care
We cry when we love 
We cry when we feel so strongly 
And so passionately about 
Something or 
Someone 
When we want a situation to change
So much that we would do 
Anything Within
Our power to change it 
We cry 

Crying is powerful because it exposes 
Our deepest human need to feel 
Without becoming vulnerable 
We cannot become strong 
Without crying we cannot laugh 
Without shedding tears we cannot have 
Eyes that 
Sparkle and Shine 
That reflect light prisms 
Rainbows from within extending outward 
Connecting hearts 
And changing lives
