Do not apologize

its a feeling that strikes your heart
sometimes to the point you can hear your heartbeat as you lie down
it squeezes and refuses to let go
its unintended
its extent is indescribable
its something within that wants to come out in the familiar way it knows how to
satisfying comforting and atimes terrifying feeling
your heart makes you feel like a fool
when there's no one there to dry your tears
you're not.

Everyone is different
we each experience different extents of the same emotion
different levels of sensitivity
don't let anyone tell you yours is too much or that you're overreacting
who gave that definite measure anyway? whos in control?
don't let anyone tell you it happens too often
don't listen to their words when they say things to make you feel bad for it
don't accept when they tell you to control it.
they may not even say it to your face
most dont
they  may even make you believe otherwise
but their thoughts and words behind hide the truth
Feel as much as you want to
express it in the way you know how
take in the joy and happiness
cry it out or laugh as much as you want to
take in the pain and sadness
cry or sit in silence as long as you want to.
don't apologize for being sensitive
don't apologize for saying how you feel
don't apologize for how you react to what you learnt
don't apologize for tearing up at the littlest of things
whether its good like appreciating a gesture rare from humans
or bad like a broken heart
only apologize if it affects someone else negatively but if its within you
don't apologize.
please be you.
