Never Let "Em See You

by Joan Serratelli

A very wise person
once told me
that IF you MUST cry
do it in private

Never, ever let 'em see you
cry- if you want to win
It's a game
I've been playing
for years
"The Crying Game"
So far, I'm losing

They know I'm weak
I cry far too much

They see me
They play on it

Rough, maybe, but I still dug it.

Perhaps rough, but I loved every word of it...so, so true. I've been taught that lesson too...and while I don't cry often, when I do, people know I'm serious. I admire people who are more in touch with their emotions than I.
