A wise man once told me, a real man never cries, <br />Instead he bottles it in, all the pain, sorrow, the lies, <br />For crying is a weakness, all men ought to know, <br />It's a show of love and compassion, and that you never show, <br />Well, Mr. Wise Man, me and my man we cried together, <br />We cried through all the pain, sorrow, and stormy weather, <br />And Mr. Wise Man, when needed we'll cry again, <br />Because tears are not a weakness, tears are the hearts friend, <br />Tears, they are the way to let out all your emotions, <br />To stop a messy chaos, to stop all the commotion, <br />Tears are a good thing, because emotions you ought to show, <br />Because, if you never do, the best things you let them go, <br />A wise man once told me, men don't cry when times are tough, <br />Well, Mr. Wise Man, I guess you weren't wise enough,<br /><br />niakeva thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wise-man-once-told-me/
