Tears, so painful
so hard and so shameful
yet so cleansing and pure

Tears, so needed
for pain left untreated
when nothing can bring you a cure

Tears, so bad
too often made sad
by people in more ways than not

Tears, so good
'cause sometimes we should
when something hits you in "that" spot

Why do we cry?
think I'd rather die
than show my weak side to someone

But then when you can
and still feel like a man
you feel intimately close to that one

Emotions' extreme
your hearts' way to scream
the "door" is completely pushed open

Your soul can be read
no words need be said
so much without words can be spoken

With life will come pain
with warmth will come rain
and tears are a hearts way of storming

When all goes to hell
and 'till all is well
they'll come without notice or warning


 Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Indeed those old tears creep up on you, sometimes in the most embarrassing of situations.  (HUGS)  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.

To one man to another "REAL MEN CRY"  It is a good way to release stress and feelings we did not know we had.  I enjoyed this piece and the way men are not supposed to cry..good work.  "To feel is to be alive" in my book

Your soul can be read
no words need be said
so much without words can be spoken

A profound and true statement.
I enjoyed very much !!!
