I like your verse.

To paraphrase someone else on men not wanting to be seen crying.

"Crying is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength in having the courage to show intense emotion"

It changed my thinking completely on this issue which has become a big problem in our society.

Thankyou for reading but can't you think of anything serious? Apparently not...

I used to inwardly scream
instead of letting off steam
bottled it up too long
same thing with tears
to shed them my fears
would be of those who might take me wrong
you see, outside I pretend to be hard
but inside I am made of lard
that has been left on the heat too long!

Whatcha think Don?

Three lines, of simple genius. A gentle descent of two syllabic beats per line to quietly remind you of a simple truth.
