(Poem) That Much Stronger
 

Hey guys,

Here is a poem I just randomly put together to help me work through some of my emotions on what happened last night. Guys are under this stereotype that if they cry, it makes them weak. Most of the time, they try as hard as they can not to cry in front of anyone, especially a girl. Well this is just my feelings on that. In my opinion, crying doesn't make them weak. So I think I wrote this out of hopes of being able to one day express those thoughts to my friend who is strong too often. I figured I'd share it with all of you and see what you guys thought. Thanks for reading! Any comments or ideas on this is appreciated. :hug:

That Much Stronger

We all seem to be so strong on the outside,
Never let anyone dare see us with walls down,

Sometimes there are those moments,
No one expects them, they can't be expected,

There is that one moment where all walls come down,
And after that, nothing can ever be the same,

Perspectives change and feelings deepen,
There is something about being made vulnerable,

It brings two people closer,
In more ways than can be expressed,

As those tears fell from your face that night,
Know that nothing's going to change,

Crying doesn't make you weak,
Instead it makes you all the more stronger,

Who says a strong man can't cry?,
I for one, think you're just that much stronger.

Aww I really like this! You should definitely show it to your friend. It's so true that guys are told that crying makes them weak and I hate that people make fun of the few guys that aren't afraid to show how they feel. Although I'm a girl, I've pretty much been taught the same (that crying makes you weak) and it's still hard for me to get past that and be honest about how I feel.
