Men Do Cry

Men do cry
Hear me well 
I'm not sick
Permit me to tell
this is no trick
We too as well
sometimes get weak
This is no lie
Men do cry
Yes we act strong
but it doesn't last long
Emotions
rise in certain situations 
Humans we are too
Tears we have too
In public we may not show
but behind closed doors, know
that tears like rivers flow
However we give ourselves
that comforting drug
called a hug
Tell ourselves those words
that we will be fine
at some other time.
