When a Man Cries

We are strong and may be brave, We keep our Emotions locked in a Cave. As we were young growing to a mature age some of our Fathers stayed to help raise, While other Wannabe fathers left far far away. We may be lost flying through thick haze and pouring Rain, Some of us just search for a nurturing embrace. We are referred to as Dogs and that we are all the same, We go through Hell and beyond to prove that we are not that mislead stray. We endure countless Battles as we travel through rough terrains, At times our tempers get the best of us and fuel our Hearts with Rage. The song of a Woman's Voice seems to calm our inner raging Beast, At times we are rejected when we're on a bended knee. It takes a lot for a Man to cry and when we cry we look towards the sky, We look for answer asking for a sign. When a Man cries we sometimes choose to hide, Cause we can no longer deal with the Pain inside. ©™ By : Shawn Munoz

Shawn This is a very powerful and emotional write. It doesn't mean a man is weak, a baby, or anything else bad when he cries. It just means he's human. Nicely done. Thanks for the great comment on my Calm Down poem.

Yes, we do...at times... but often with some guilt or shame. Our culture does not look favorably upon men crying. But as your poem says in truth that we can no longer deal with the pain. Often, when the emotions overflow, anger becomes our choice...crying would not be manly. Well done, my friend, well done. Allan

Thank you Allan, granted it doesn't look manly but sometimes despite the causing of those tears i believe they need to flow or you'll turn into a ticking time bomb and explode.

Shawn..this is one of the loveliest poems I've ever read....I for one find it takes a real man to have courage enough to cry and admit he must bend a knee to find strenghth from one more powerful than himself...God bless...
