i hide to cry
i don’t know why
i’m just so sad
it’s not my dad
i can not show
the ones i know
of my art
it show my heart
and if they see
what will i be
a softy wuss
or a sissy  puss
o play along
to show i’m strong
but the gentle me
it that the key
it goes good with girls
the other gets me referrals
they say i’m  sweet
but what does that beat
it beets the guys who like to rise
to get in a fight
when the time is right
i will jump in
to show i’m within
this life of theirs
but who really cares
but if i leave
what do i achieve
i give up that life
and they might give me the knife
but i’m a guy
and that is why
i hide to cry

i was really depresed when i wrote this later today i hope you like it

LKP, I don't know what to say. You have got to be strong! You don't have to walk down the path of knifes and blood etc. It isn't a nice place to wander.

Keep to this side of the fence and I hope that things get better for you.

Everyone gets judged. Everyone has problems...
Guys do generally have to be strong, that is true.... however, I know lots of girls who find artsy guys like you attractive. Personally, I luv artsy types.
I usually get hurt by them, because they are just as emotional as me, and I have to be the practical one. Yuck!
Nice poem!!

Incredible expressions LKP ... you've tugged at my heart with this poem this morning. If this is true to life, and I'm interpreting this right, it sounds as though some people around you don't appreciate your artistic side.  

It's hard sometimes to find a balance ... but you can see that there are a LOT of young men here in the Teen Forum, and an equal number of men throughout the other forums. You are not alone.

Artistic expression is a gift that not all people have, and therefore some do find it difficult to understand. All I can suggest is that you find a balance ... time to explore all aspects of your being while continuing to focus on the dreams of what "you" yourself wish to be. Down the road, the others may be proud to read of your artistic accomplishments, and they'll be the one's saying "I knew him when" ...  

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

hey, Matt, right?
I hear ya 100%.  
Men don't cry!! well that's what they say
I think most of us hide to cry at least some of the time.
This was a nice poem.  Well done

I hear where you're coming from. I hide to cry too.....not because i'm afraid of what people will think or whether they'd think im a wuss or not.......but I hide it because I really don't want people to know i'm vulnerable or weak at the moment. I don't want counseling or advice....so that's why I hide.
Regardless of my reasons, I find yours to be valid aswell. Great job in expressing.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Matt,
I may be a girl and all, but to us it is okay to cry. Guy's have this whole tough thing going on. I think it is good to cry. It is releasing a pain inside of you. When my friend Jesica died a whole lot of guys cryed. I mean weeped endlessly. Then it was okay to cry. In my point of view it should always be okay to cry! I feel your sorrow man. I'm going through a h*** of a time too. Writing poems helps get it out of your system. Keep em' coming man. See ya round!

  I know what your going through and it's tough but I'm sure you'll get through it. No matter what anyone tells you it's ok to cry even though it's hard for me to cry in front of people. Keep up the awsome work and I hope everything gets better.

To tell you the truth, I've found crying in front of someone close to me to be more helpful.  I don't hide my emotions from family or friends, just to strangers.  Believe me when I say it helps a lot.

I've never shared any of my poems with anyone but you guys and girls (I've never really thought about how many guys do post here) and maybe an English teacher now and then for an assignment.  Crying?  Uh....what's that?  Anyway, great job on the poem, it's done really well.
