It doesn’t make sense for you to just take the pain…..cause all you do frustrate the brain, till eventually it snaps.Nervous breakdowns… feeling like you mentally collapsedbecause the remedy you lack to apply.Not cigarettes, the fluid in the back of your eyes, that you neglected to releaseso how can one expect to be at peace ….when Life seems hectic and the grief elevates,and can’t find you a method for relief.It’s not like you accepted a defeat, if you shed a tearinstead of fear, it brings serenity until your head is clearSo if your bed is near, just climb in it and make a standtake command of your feelings and break the dam. Analysis on “Ok 2 Cry” Tears can be a natural and healthy way to release emotions and find solace during overwhelming times. Crying has been found to reduce stress by releasing feel-good hormones called endorphins. These hormones can help alleviate feelings of tension, anxiety, and sadness, promoting a sense of calmness and well-being. Allowing yourself to cry is an act of self-compassion and shows that you are giving yourself permission to feel and process your emotions, which is an important part of the healing process. It’s important to create a safe and supportive environment for yourself, free from judgment, where you can freely express your emotions. Witnessing one of my younger siblings experience a breakdown was my first encounter of seeing a person snap. We were both carpooling to our place of employment, but before we reached the car, he screamed as if in agony and started crying. I was stunned as I held him firmly and constantly questioning what’s wrong, as he vented and painfully conveyed his woes which involved academic pressure and current relationship issues. It was scary how no warning signs were indicated of stress build up until it was time to explode. Due to emotional overload, I was compelled to do the driving while he relaxed to process his emotions before reaching our destination. Later that evening while still at work, he expressed to me his embarrassment towards his previous behavior, as I instantly replied that there was nothing to be ashamed of and it was ok to cry, thus becoming the pivotal moment and inspiration to write this poem. Although this verse highlights the process of crying, the focal point centers around the importance of managing emotional build-up and finding effective ways to release stress. It is indeed crucial for our overall well-being to acknowledge and address our emotional pain or damage instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. Suppressing emotions or denying our hurt can have long-term consequences on our mental and emotional health. Unresolved emotional issues can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even physical symptoms.                                                                                                                                          Tough Exterior In a world where toughness is worn as armor, the second verse paints a vivid picture of a man trying to mask his vulnerability. As beer flows and tear drops fall, a tough exterior attempts to resist the natural flow of human emotion. The loss of a friend hits hard, yet the man hesitates to let his tears flow, clinging to a misguided notion of strength.The poem delves into the consequences of suppressing emotions, describing how the man, in his pursuit of toughness, defies gravity, expelling body fluids in a futile attempt to escape the weight of his feelings. The imagery of rapidly wandering thoughts and actions bordering on insanity paints a picture of internal turmoil. The consequences of this emotional suppression are further explored as the man finds himself ensnared in stress crimes, leading to a shameful entanglement that may eventually result in handcuffs and chains. The message implores the reader to avoid increasing the risk, encouraging meditation as a means to elevate the mind from the abyss of suppressed emotions.The passage concludes with a poignant reminder that God bestowed emotions for a reason, challenging the misleading notion that “Men don’t cry.” The poem strongly recommends the path towards tranquility to end the emotional drought. It serves as a powerful call to embrace one’s emotions, acknowledging that true strength lies not in resistance but in the ability to navigate and express the depths of one’s feelings.                                                                                                                                           Communication During a process of healing, a powerful tool for consoling pain is communication. Seek support by reaching out to trusted friends, family members, or professionals such as therapists or counselors. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone can provide a sense of relief and comfort, and allows you to release built-up emotions to gain a better understanding of your own experience. Verbalizing with others can help you gain fresh perspectives and insights. They may offer different viewpoints or provide guidance based on their own experiences, which can broaden your understanding and help you navigate through your pain in a healthy and constructive way.
