I don’t cry
it is not that I cannot
it is because I choose not to
tears show everything
when they fall
why they fall
We are made up of water
precious it is
but we allow it to spill
a single tear wasted
on a single incident
never to be retrieved again
sitting here in thoughts
of all the tears I’ve squandered
on people and things that are no longer here
I see why my mother said
“do not waste your tears on this or them.”
one day something more important will need those tears
a tear is a precious thing
made up of water and salts and your essence
to be dried and forgotten
I watched a man cry once
I was in aww
What was the final point to let that fall from your eyes
children cry all the time
it is their right
it is their form of expression to put a point across
women cry
some do it easily as if it is there next breath
it is a form of release of a weight I suppose
my tears burn when they are released
I hold them back for very long time
emotions change from sorrow to anger
if I can wish to Cry tears of joy
that would be something to see
I just don’t have it in me
once, sorrow hit me so hard
I cried an endless ocean, full of tears
to be greeted by the darkness
Those tears found fear on others faces
I did not rise for 2 days
ever since then I do not spare my tears
I don’t cry…….
Powerful and poignant.
Thank you, Thomas I appreciate that ;))
Emotions can grab us when we’re not ready. Your mother had a lot of wisdom.
Good one, Fia.
Thank you, Tim ;))
Crying is a way for the body to release hormones that calm us down during stressful times.
Next time you cry, pause for a moment and reflect on why you’re crying.I doubt there will be a logical,solid,single reason.
Great write Fia 💋
Thank you, I will Peter;))
Oh stop being so tough. LOL.
Everyone needs a good cry some time. Its how we flush our eyes out!
Hell, I even secretly cry a sad tic toc videos, in private! LOL.
I’m a softy at heart!
Great words, Fia. Now let it out! Cry!
Haha, thank you Styxian
I think I envy those who cry. I can’t seem to, and believe it’s not a healthy thing that I can’t. Most likely it was the trauma I suffered as a child that had me crying buckets until there just weren’t any more tears in me. I agree with your attitude about crying now, and believe your mother’s advice to be very wise. This is strong writing that has me thinking much about the subject.
I am glad that you related to this,
Thank you, Fia.
It’s so much more of a powerful expression this way, in my opinion. It means that if you cry it actually means something. Such a beautiful expression of that.
Thank you, Green;))
Beautiful. It’s wonderful to have “control”. Not just in whether or not to cry.
Thank you Paula ☺️
I don’t cry many times. My poetry is my emotional release. But the last time I cried is when I lost my dog. When me and my wife got his nose print I just lost it. Don’t remember the last time I cried before then.
Great ink.
Thank you, Nick. I remember putting my dog to sleep. My whole body kept trembling and I did shed a couple of tears then I went numb. Pretty sure I should have gotten counseling for that response.
Powerfully penned, Fia. Into the book it belongs! This is an incredible write my friend, love the layers. Excellent work. Appreciate you.

Thank you, Damian;))
Oh lordy…have you seen the movie The Holiday? I’m the Jude Law character…a weeper! Happy, sad, excited, confused…I’m a soggy mess. This is an interesting view though, seen from someone else’s perspective. Very nice!
