“The first days were hard

I learned to love tears

Was told I was brave”

• From Hang Me Like Jesus by Crawlers

My eyes have always been like a broken faucet, anticipating the moment to cry. My past weighs like a heavy hand on that faucet. Living with C-PTSD is like a world with the polar opposite version of rose-tinted glasses. I should’ve, would’ve, could’ve the past into a better reality but it doesn’t change a thing. Someone once said that your eyes are a window into your soul; maybe your tears are your soul begging to be heard. I just know that in this lifetime I will always and forever be a crybaby.
