Don't Apologize

Never apologize
when you feel hopeless.
There's no weakness
in admitting such
an ugly, personal truth.
It takes courage
to allow yourself
to melt so easily
when emotions set in.
It's okay!
We each have our own
personal Hell to deal with,
but must have faith
that it won't last forever.
Keep your chin up.
Hold your head high.
Just breathe.
I see potential
in you.

Author's Note

There's no shame in being 'in-tune' with your emotions.

You are right. There is no need to feel ashamed to accept our lapses and being ourselves. Being emotional and getting carried away by emotions only shows that we are being transparent and human.
Your poem is uplifting . These lines are nice: " we each...... For ever."
Thanks for sharing..

I'm glad there is no shame, and I agree with you 100 percent. I am an extreamly emotional gal, proberbly partly because my moon sign is pieces. I am never ashamed of my emotions, they are just hard to deal with sometimes, feeling so much so intensly is hard.
I loved this poem it speaks to me.
All your words are comforting, inspiring and true.
Thank you for this advice, in a sorts.
Love your writing always :)

Thank you so much & glad you could relate! I'm thrilled to know that my words are able to comfort & inspire you in some way. It took me a long time to allow myself to be honest & open about my emotions in my poetry, but soon after, I began to see how my writing slowly progressed and continued to improve. I feel it's all about just being honest with yourself & finally accepting who you are.

Honesty is the best policy for sure, hidding your emotions is not good.
Your welcomez :)
