[zHis falling tears are like thunder, \Yet only heard by one But the world would never know he whimpered knowing less that he had lost. Mans worth? His power to weep. We see hurt on the faces of those we love. A false smile, a slight facial twitch from pain concealed, digested by their soul We scream for answers we do not have, To questions they never ask. Mans worth, His power to weep. Their tears are bred from independence But we are not gods. Our worth? Our power to weep holding the weeping silent they scream ino themselves And in their blindness, from tears held back , They see our helplessness, Then their worth is found in their power to weep, For us! But their final thought? "My tears must never reach the light" Man's worth? His power to weep for man.

About this poem:
Men don't cry. Some do, not many. Ithought how excruciating to pretend you don't hurt for that is when it hurts most. "Cry and you cry alone, But laugh and the world laughs with you
Indeed a kind heart if you don't cry she does not have to morn yor sorrow. Makes sence to me. BUT If you do not cry she will cry for you and she will hurt for you and now you so she hurts twice as bad. zzzzzzzzzand if she really loves you, it is a horror story for her. thanks for all your comments

Like a contradiction.
To weep seems weak, yet to be able to is a sign of strength.
