Lifepoems

Ok Keish, let’s do this, walk through this,
That question you asked, I don’t know the answer to it,
But I can take a shot in the dark,
Or at the least, say why I think we don't do it…
Yep’ got to be tough, or at least act it,
When things go sour, and your life back flips,
Care for a metaphor? Ok… ‘a foam mattress’,
They’re hapless, get a little wet, and they’ve had it,
No backbone, a good night sleep from one of these,
You just won’t have it, it won’t happen,
Just another thing, that you can’t count on.
“So tell me, why wont you cry?
And dampen those eyes,
Tell me why wont you guys cry?
What’s with you?
Is it just too much of a guy thing,
To be handed a tissue?”
Well you don’t have to cry, to be torn up inside,
Sometimes it’s easier to box it up, conceal it or hide,
Is it some sort of disguise,
If a storm of tears builds up in your life?
Maybe it’s nothing more, than a matter of pride,
You’ve got me… but hey, Gorb cries all the time,
Would you rather I be him, than be me?
In the end it’s easy,
Do you get it now? Can you see?
I don’t do it because it’s just not me.
But I guess it’s okay sometimes,
Like when sad thoughts stick in your head,
And you can’t block them, they keep knocking.
And when terror attacks shake up the earth,
Bring people together, from events that are shocking.
Or when all the stores in the world burn down,
And there’s no more shopping!
C’mon, I’m just kidding, messing with you,
But back to the issue…
“So tell me, why wont you cry?
And dampen those eyes,
Tell me why wont you guys cry?
What’s the deal?
Well I just don’t know,
Give me an onion to cut up and I will.”
So to cry, why bother?
It’s not like it’s going to solve any problems,
It’s not like it’s going to make anything bad any better,
All I want to do, is keep it together,
If one thing goes wrong, emotions are fed,
Bad weather is always glad, to rear its head,
Kick up some dust, or show it’s face,
And if you give in and break, it’s a waste,
And if you give in and fall, then you’re gone,
Then who’s left for your friends,
To talk to or lean on?
After all, you only get a handful of good ones,
That you need to be there for,
And if you give in and fold, then you’re done.

This is a great write and I am glad you posted it....in society men are taught that it is socially inept to cry and so they go around feeling as if they always have to be the "strong" ones and to give in to our emotions will not make us weaker in fact it helps us to become stronger...sorry for rambling this write just got me thinking...

This comment is basically just about your last stanza...first of all let me just say I think this is an amazing poem. Now...why cry? Because it's a good release. It takes a little of the load off your shoulders. It takes a lot to be strong, and allowing yourself to be weak for a few minutes can take some of the pain away. Yes, bad things will always happen, which is exactly why you have to learn to deal with them. Everyone gets sad, and crying is quite simply a part of dealing. It's okay to break, coz you know those people that you need to be there for? Well, they'll also be there for you when you need to break. Friendship is a two-way road, and I'm sure they'd be glad to return the favour every once in a while.
Just my thoughts on the subject. Feel free to take them with a grain of salt. :)

Nice write Damon..I'm glad you posted it.
I agree with Moonlit... there's nothing wrong
with men who cry and if friends are true
they'll be there no matter what...
Always,
Daniela |
