Always it Seems

My shoulder has been cried upon
Many times,
And lately I have been longing
To break my hard male exterior
And just cry on a friend
Instead of only crying on the inside
My sinews ripping and tearing
From my lack of outward emotion
I feel as if I can't bottle up
Any more pain,
But always it seems
As if I have room for more
Always it seems
Room for another ounce of pain
Always it seems
The world throws another twist
There's never a shoulder
For me to cry on
Not that I deserve one,
But maybe the world
Could stop laughing at me
Maybe all the s***
Could be lifted off of me
For a day
But, whenever I look in the mirror
I see a hardened, bitter teenager
No, a young man
So hardened
That he refuses to show emotion
So hardened
That he refuses to let everything go...
And just cry
And whenever I look in the mirror
I realize, with a twinge of regret
That I have to continue on
That all this crap
Is for a purpose
No matter, how pointless it seems
And I turn away
Tears streaming down my heart

Very powerful writing
Locked up emotions=pain.
It's ok to cry.
Showing emotion is not a sign of weakness but strength.
When you sit alone thinking, your problems can tangle and multiple in your head. Talking them through with someone who cares just straightens them out a little.
I hope you'll forgive me for this, but it's difficult to read this poem without trying to help.

Bobo, I can only repeat all that Dave has said here.
This is a gutwrenching poem and one of your most powerful I think. Your last two lines
" And I turn away
Tears streaming down my heart "
are going to always stay with me.
Love Chrissie x |

| But what a gush of tears this was, only in literal form instead of H2O... wow, you never fail to impress me, joel. This is something that most guys wouldn't even think about writting about, even though I am 100% sure they have all felt like you describe at one time or another... Riddle me this, batman... that masculine fear of crying... A weakness or a strength? |
