Tears & Crying.

Our tears are emotional drops

of us to the core.

Coming out,

to show the world,

and yourself,

what and who we are all about.

We sometimes

need comfort,

compassion,

and love

let alone understanding

from others and ourselves.

Other times it just because we are distressed

,

been grieving, upset or down.

Tears are our fondations we rest

our soul on.

Our spirit is wrapped up tight

inside it all too.

So never be ashamed

to show some real tears.

As your emotions and crying

helps to release

those pent-up emotions

you try to disguise

and  hide behind

inside and keep to yourself.

Only hurting you more

and making feel lousy,

inside and out.

As well as upsetting you longer

as your not being honest and true

with yourself.

So Please, just let them tears out.

And hopefully long run you will

feel better a bit

for releasing those

pent-up emotions and

simply getting them out.

Your words reveal the truth on this emotional outlet for all of us. I feel most caring when I do cry. Personally I can't predict what will bring me to tears but I always feel better when I release them. Your poem is helpful and full of wisdom. Thank you.
Peace,

Tears are one of the most raw forms of emotions we have as people, and when we are denied them because of society or others, those emotions become even stronger. This is such a wonderfully worded way of bringing the necessity of tears and crying to life.

Very nice, I was taught from a young age that crying was weak and it never solved anything besides people taking pity on you.

And do you know something, to me that is stupid, for young men and men in general. They should be allowed to express their emotions. They are human as well. Not robots and uncaring. I do find that sad, that society makes men feel as though it is a crime to express emotions let alone even cry.

I still cry of course but I don’t see what’s wrobg with it. One of my friends always cries in every emotional part of movies.
