Try A Cry Poem by Bashyam Narayanan

Try A Cry

Rating: 5.0


Crying is an emotional outburst
Of a discomforting situation
Accompanied by shedding tears
And sobbing, which may last longer
Maturity demands that we check our cry
As it showcases our weakness
Factually speaking crying can strengthen you
Since you expose your emotions the best way
While crying
Crying out has a potential to dilute
The emotional impact on you
Yes, you are well advised to cry
To handle a perceived problem better
Children cry
These cries are instantaneous and
Immediate in response to most often
A physical discomfort
As we advance in age, we manage well
To stop or abstain from crying
Girls and women cry out more readily
Than boys and men
Examine yourself as to when
You cried last time
It is a demonstration of perception of
Utter helplessness
You may guise in laughter, anger
But the real you can be seen in your cry
Cries draw more attention than
Expressions of other emotions
Cries may make others understand better
Cries have the potential to bring out
A notable mental balance
Cries may accompany ecstasy among some
Triggered by an overwhelming accomplishment
Know that you cry not because you are weak
But because you want to strengthen yourself
Fail not to cry
If you feel the situation demands
Fear not to cry as it may shield you against threat
I wish you do not come across
A tough and demanding situation demanding a cry
In the same breath I want you to note that
Nothing is more soothing than a cry
Try a cry
Next time if you need to cry

Wow, What a wise and balanced view on crying, try a cry. Very well said. Sadness is a normal human emotion, that we do not need to hide I think that crying indeed can bring relief. Sad is not bad. Too many of us equal sad to bad Please read my poem, X..... a little sadness

Thank you for sharing Bashyam, your words are so true! I do believe that crying is the very first step toward healing. Along with our tears we expel some of the emotional energy that builds up inside. Holding back tears, holding in our feelings whether it's anger, sadness, disappointment, etc., only becomes toxic for us and then it will come out eventually in other negative ways. I hope anyone who reads this will take it to heart and heed your sound advice. I will. Great work1
