INSANE LAUGHTER

I just have to laugh at myself,
the way I so easily smile.
Even when I don't mean it,
& all I want to do is cry.
but instead I hide from the world,
from myself,
because I like the image,
I've worked so hard to build.
Strong, untouchable, unbreakable,
& I don't want anyone to see,
me for who I truly am.
A weak & crying child.
Because then how could they love me,
if they knew I didn't even love myself?

~If you can laugh at it, then you can live with it.~

~Laugh & the whole world laughs with you, cry & you cry ALONE! I no longer want to be alone, so I laugh with the world  !~

~It takes 72 muscles to frown, & only 14 to smile  
Keep Smiling   ~

LOVE ELMO

I agree to keep on smiling, but only if you feel like it. If you want to cry, do it. It's a great release. You're a human being so let those emotions out.

Cutiepie, I like this, but don't wear the happiness mask so tight you can't crack it. Life was meant to be a mixture of sorrow and laughter. Too much of either is madness. Warm hugs.
Be well

All I can say is that I know this all too well. I haven't cried for a good year, maybe year and a half. Even if I want to, and I allow myself to, the tears have ran dry, and I have no more to shed. Do what your heart tells you to. Then you'll never go wrong.

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

I can't suck it up... I can burst in tears for such small and sometimes stupid reasons that I hate myself afterwards...
But mostly I like to laugh and cheer (if I'm in a good mood of course...)
