Sometimes people tick you off But do you then attack? Likely not, for most of us Are trained in holding back. Saying what you really think In every circumstance Would be like stomping someone’s feet When you are asked to dance. Instead, we tiptoe ‘round the truth Or else don’t say a thing For honesty is better off, At times, to not take wing. It might be...

With you, this veil spreads across my face like ice. Cheeks stiffen, aching lips pressed together white as lies. I hold back words so they are cooled, blank, before I free them. Alone, when I dance, face soft and my heart burns in my cheeks; pure gold, yellow, red — why can’t I show you this?...

Oh! That anguishing moment! When I craved to cry, And pour my tears, like monsoon rains, on some grass dry; A bit away, hence, from the madding crowd, I went, To soothe my grieving heart; give benevolent vent... A hard hand hit my shoulder and commanding, said: You're a man! Should not cry! Calm! Courage! Go ahead! We, in our culture...

When granny was still alive she used to tell me~ " Don't cry when I die, for tears are melted salt that had escaped from oceans; Spare your tears, spare your salt, Just sing me a song~ a song I first taught you." Two decades ago, she bade adieu, and in front of her coffin, With eyes frozen,I stood still holding back my tears~ the hardest thing...

They laid her in a tomb, only the bagpiper and I. The Scotsman, with his pipes, played a dreary dirge, I stood tall, no tears just intense anger. A haggard breeze flowed around the verdant trees, Ruffling the dreary flowers that adorned her tomb. ...

Some hold back their tears due to inner fears. Knowing their life is bad, will make all sad. Thinking this, they always smile.They wear mask. No one can make out from their face they're sad. If they try to resolve their problem by sharing, speaking about it, it might end. Often misunderstandings cause anguish, talking straight from heart can bring peace and joy. Don't hold back tears, try to eliminate them. Find the root cause of...

I well remember trying not to cry, It was the hardest thing I ever did All us graded boys gave it our best try, In the third class I was the smallest kid As to homework I was always solid, I remember so well holding back tears A paddling was one of my biggest fears, But I did not have my assignment...

It's nine years in a row of continuous crisis lost in the wilderness of a dry Oasis on all long bones is the constant emphasis for a condition which began as Tuberculosis.

It was a dark and stormy night you could say its "the story of my life" Sitting in a park watching a plane take flight Thinking of you and all the strife Now I sit in dark rooms while i watch the shadows move pushing out all my fears while holding back my tears Wondering why I see you at night not in person,...

In high school, the boy I loved Was in love with my best friend. They held hands and snuggled at ball games And I was always in the background, watching. In college, they broke up, and I went home with him one night, And he invited me into his bed, and I knew it meant nothing to him, Yet I went...
