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
