Remembering What Makes Me Cry

Recognizing my ability to fight back tears when sadness overwhelms me, it finally came to me. Happiness makes me cry. Injustice does, too, but angry tears are easy to suppress. Seeing someone be kind to someone else makes me cry.

Lyrics to “Wishing It Was” by Santana:
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me
