For Crying's Sake

Sometimes even if our mind is heavy, tears won't come. "I'll stem the tears With laughter droll, And halt those fears" It is so nice to have such a capacity. I don't have it. So I cannot hide my sorrow or sentiments. A profound write, Hilda.

Very lovely poem Hilda! Really enjoyed reading this one! Debx

Ah so good to read you today dear hilda, i hope you are doing well, sometimes tears just refuse to come, although heart is crying. What a deep read this is. Your last stanza depicts a strong soul that always is ready to pick up themselves despite all. I always say this, its ok to cry. Crying is healing too, maybe cus im a cry baby. Lol sending you light today and always

This is very lovely... blessings

Interesting angle here. I wonder if Freud would say that eventually the dam will burst and the tears will flow...

A peerless piece with practical yet poignant rhyme word selection. It has a thoughtful inner dynamic that cannot be misconstrued. This work is emphatic with regard to what makes us human. I cannot thank you enough for your very supportive comments on Wide Eye Saunter

Indeed, as a humanity we often suppress what needs expression, and avoid that fear that needs fearless detonation. Great poem!

Fun read, Hilda, thanks for the good message in a fun poem, my friend. Bill

Yes, some laughter for crying's sake seems like the way to go. Also, a break would be nice.

This poem is so cleverly written and relatable, Hilda. The rhyming is also very nice. :)

I rarely cry. Perhaps I lost my soul.

- In short ... but, strong and sensitive Hilda :) - hugs

I really like this one Hilda. So much said in so few words. Super clever.

A lovely poem, Hilda.

I like the flow of this verse, Very nicely done

Hilda, your cleverly written poem got me thinking: One function of tears is that they are a way of communicating our emotions to others. They also help to release pent up emotion. I'll add that not being able to cry may come down to stress,, Sjögren's disease or a psychological reason causing an emotional disconnect of some sort. I'll stop there as I'm taking your poem too literally. I enjoyed reading. PS For crying out loud used to be a popilar expression when I was young. :) Cheers - Gary

if only, we could, poignant poem, thanks for sharing yann

Great message in this little poem, Hilda. And I like how it reminds me of the expression: For crying out loud

Dear Hilda, your poem is filled with raw emotion and resilience. Your words express the struggle to find peace amidst tears, yet also the strength to overcome with laughter. This is a powerful piece. - Blessings, Daniel

This flows perfectly. Well done :)

This piece showcases an exquisite display of creativity and brilliance dear Hilda. The words flow with remarkable eloquence, accompanied by dazzling rhymes that captivate the reader's senses.
