People don’t cry because they’re weak. They cry because they’ve been strong for too long.

Confrontation was a great idea – unless the odds were so stacked against you that it was pointless. ― Barbara Delinsky, Before and Again
i have to say something if i want to sing but it's not about the words it's my voice rising to a place far from me that my fingers can't reach and my legs are so tight from all this standing still.
all my dreams are memories that i can't place to a time or a face but my body knows of the ribbons and bows that i once was tied in in my mother's skin
