Not All Men Cry
I am jealous of the shower
For it gets to cry whenever.
It has its reasons to weep.
The embracing flow of its essence
Pours upon its admirer a
Reminder of its ability
To freely express itself.
The outpour of its existence
Worsens the apathetic state
Of the man trapped in his head;
Feels antipathy towards the tears,
Mad at their ability to fall.
He longs to relate to the outcry.
He feels the dam being pushed,
But only his will seems to break.
His mind cries out in its own drought.
He has his reasons to cry,
But something in him inhibits it.
He wants this expression so fucking
Badly; to release from this deep pain.
It's an expression of the
Ability to let go of
One's own plight and indifference.
They now say all men should cry,
But what if the rain cannot fall down?
