Why did you retain your tears hidden? Will the issues cease after they are bound? Are the fountains close to stale down? Or has your whole life been destroyed? What fulfills your happiness every day? For all the suffering you've endured. Crying for the sake of making others cry. You're pretending on the inside, indeed. Are you aware of other people's misery and wish to attenuate their sadness? It's a considerable measure of certainty. You acquire if you discover happiness. Will you be able to overcome this adversity? The most unbearable of all was the sorrow. Endeavoring to climb a mountain endlessly. To forestall a potential deadly stumble hallow. I believe you must start working forward. After seeing others achieve greater success. Every other fresh morning brings a reward. As well as a willingness to energize and bless. Consider putting on your optimal performance. Never lose hope, even if your life is near its final. An excess void will never aid in one's ascendance. All you can do is act with sapience and be helpful. 1st Place contest winner Written: August 03, 2021 This or That, Vol 5 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh Your Favourite Poem From 2021 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward

Sometimes holding back tears is next to impossible. Particularly when ~ quote: The most unbearable of all was the sorrow. Endeavoring to climb a mountain endlessly. This resonates...Delice

Self-examination is always necessary. I wrote a poem lately "Hope never Dies". Many read it, But many simply refuse to do so.

You're correct, Victor; self-examination is necessary every time we cry. Thanks for your kind words

Ah, so well-written and so meaningful. "Never lose...hope!" Your words are so telling, Lasaad. We all need this introspection. I think every time we cry, we need self-examination.

That's so correct, Milton, every time we cry, we need self-examination. But not too many people do that. Thanks for your kind words, my good friend.
