This is so prevalent to how men can hurt just as much and suffer internally but they feel as though they have to hide it to maintain their strong demeanour, beautifully penned 💕

It cannot be understated enough how hard it is for men to be emotionally vulnerable. There is a terrible double standard in society that is plaguing men right now. You are expected first to be emotional and open with your feelings. When you are, you are disrespected by peers and partners for being weak. You are trampled on and considered feminine. Then, if you hold everything back you are considered to be emotionally unavailable and are criticized for being too masculine. Society has not actually in practice done anything to help men be comfortable and secure with feeling all the same emotions that women do.

Words have flowed from your fingertips onto this page in the most wonderful way. As I read each stanza I nod my head and think \"yes, yes, yes...\" Such sadness when we lose ourselves to the hyperbole of life, forgetting that coffee is just coffee and when it is consumed we are still the same old person we were. I love this poem!

A great analogy and metaphor. true it is that people have grown to feel entitled when nature has no entitlement. It sends warning sines about where we have arrived. and where we are going. The poem read smoothly and was quite identifiable.

Bella Shepard said:
This is so poignant dear poet. You must wonder over the ages how many men have suffered in silence, unable to release emotion through the natural process of tears. Only women were afforded the privelege of crying, which made them appear weak, but I think perhaps it made them stronger. Maybe if men had been able to cry out their pain, our world would be a different place. I just love this poem dear friend and it is a fav.

My comments on the poem \"Men only cry when it rains”
It is widely considered unmanly to cry. So, men have to hide to cry. They cry in the silence of their solitary rooms, unseen by others, unknown to others.
From my poem “Papa !” :
“Slowly against the fence I sank. I slid.
With my hands my tears I hid.
A man, a martyr had to hide to cry.
Not any solace around could I espy.
(…)
“So be it. ‘Tis unmanly to weep.
But, the cut went so deep, so deep…
Those tears how to hold back :
How to face yon blist’ring attack…
My tears flew down. Unseen. Hidden.
All around, voices of carefree children.
In my heart, the cruel couple stirr’d a sword.
To describe the torture, I can’t find a word…
(…)”
We cry when it rains : we then have an excuse : we can then say it’s the rain…
Society will forgive us…
(My poem “Papa !” will appear later on this site. They only accept a poem a day here. I have to wait 150 days to post 150 poems. Meanwhile see my site : https://allpoetry.com/Soman_Ragavan)

This is an old style view of men, but I loved the repetition of the line in each stanza giving it building power. Now days with changing culture it would be said Men only cry when it pains. Very nice poem.

A great play on words to send a strong message. After writing poetry for a while we all understand the first part of the poem \"read by few\" \"understood by none\" great lines.
