Shedding My Tears (Resubmit)
When I was a younger man
I was taught
Men don't cry
I learned to bottle in my tears
I suppressed my feelings
At a young age I found myself
In a world
With no room to cry
Life was hard
I had to be hard with it
I used drugs and hate
Anger and violence
To harden my soul
Then one day
Alone
I cried
The tears flowed
Like a river
Falling like a waterfall
onto my soul
The tears cleansed then
They softened and healed
My soul
Never again will I
Stop
The therapeutic value of
Shedding my tears
