He is too old to cry
Laying his head on his mom's lap.
Men do not cry on any other lap;
He looks for a cave nearby
Where he can hide himself
Whenever he feels heavy
And drop a tear or two, to relieve his pain.

Crying is so necessary for our well being when we get overwhelmed by emotions. This poem explains so nicely why a man would prefer to cry in solitude. A pleasure to read.

@Edward Kofi Louis, Too old to cry! - Yes, that's it and so the pain is more! Thanks for the comment and the quote.
@Aqua Flower, 'sometimes we feel better after a good cry' - yes, of course. We feel a lot better and see things clearer. 'Both female and male share same emotion yet society feels men should not show this; ' - appreciate your understanding, dear poetess! Thank you.

Crying is a necessary release of emotions....sometimes we feel better after a good cry. Both female and male share same emotion yet society feels men should not show this....a good poem expressing this dilemma.

Tears The garbage stone in heart! tears wild mountain in mind! Tears does not let the heart-mind fly o shed it; devastate it let the heart-mind be slacken to fly unchained
