Truths That Need to be Told

Truths That Need to be Told 

A poem by Brigid Cooley

Tear stained pillowcases aren't unheard of and fairytales are improbable at best.
It's okay to break down every once in a while, even if the place you do it is the dine-in area of a Taco Cabana on a Monday night.
Dramatic music doesn't play in the background during important moments in your life, even though that would be a nice touch.
It's okay to not know where you're going.
It's okay to not know where you'll end up.
Life's a stage, but the actors never got the script.
They're all just improvising.
We are all just improvising.
Sometimes people won't hear your silent cries.
It's okay to turn up the volume.
Sometimes, you won't have the energy to turn up the volume.
That's okay too.
