I've often felt completely misunderstood; I know I'm not alone...
Drama
It’s all drama They say You never grew up You’re a child You cry too easily You’re too emotional You’re too sensitive Deal with it Get a grip Don’t let people get to you Don’t be such a woman Be a man for a change You can’t do anything about it Stop caring so much
If drama is when the soul bleeds tears So be it Only…
MY ELDEST DAUGHTER GOT MARRIED IN 2018 TO A MARVELOUS MAN...WHO IS ABLE TO 'CRY'. I CAN'T BEGIN TO EXPRESS MY ADMIRATION FOR A MAN WHO IS ABLE TO S-H-U-C-K THAT 'MALE PERSONAE ARMOR', LETTING THE TEARS FALL. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S PRIVATELY OR FOR THE WORLD TO SEE! WHEN SOMETHING HURTS...IT HURTS! AND THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO THAT. A GOOD CRY WASHES THE WOUND, TENDS IT AND BEGINS THE HEALING PROCESS. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES THE BLESSINGS OF A 'GOOD CRY' HAS STRENGTHENED ME(NOT BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN BUT BECAUSE I'M 'HUMAN')PICKED ME UP, PLACED MY FEET ON SOLID GROUND...ENABLING ME TO PRESS-ON. AND I THANK GOD FOR THE 'DRAMA' WHICH PRECIPITATED SUCH MOMENTS. SO APPRECIATED THIS SHARING, REGIS, THANKS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
It's perfectly alright to reach for the stars, see them shining in the sky, why wouldn't it be perfectly alright for drama to a certain extent, if not carried away
Regis,
I am empathetic person to all, feelings are all my expressives & need to be or we will be like a pressure cooker without release & explode.
I would be appalled if someone soad to me "Stop Acting"
goodness...I bet I would have my wicked twin tend to that matter ;)
But Ahhh....when it comes to care, we all need to use reasons on that, as some people harm us that we care for in a malice type of fasion
I think most artists (all sorts) feel things deeper than the average person. When I find myself crying over a commercial...yes, a commercial...I wonder what's wrong with me. This poem reminds me of those moments. At least you were given the gift to express these feelings so well! Let the tears roll...it's healthy! Hugs:) Sheila
When we become so hardened by the woes in this not cry for it that day we have surely lost our humanity! Tears give us a way to wash the griefs in this world from our heart, and my gosh I have done my share. The ability of a male to cry is a sign of strength that has to be admired. Sandi

I’ve read several poems of your. I’ll post a comment here, but really this is more a compilation of feelings about your works and posted comments you’ve made about your poems. I like the your short poems, they pack a punch! I like this one because I can relate. I read where you had written what people say of you, that you “have an ‘obsessive’ personality” and I know and understand this well as it has been said of me numerous times. I also read where you wrote, “I cannot even think straight when I think of you”…I think it must be your passion that they speak of, many an accomplished poet have been known to exhibit this kind of personality. I’ve stop caring what others think of my “passionate or artistic temperament” because I can go places in my soul, feel depths that few are able to experience. Just like that unique snowflake you mentioned in one of your poems, you have a distinctive and irreplaceable gift to share with others that comes in it’s own unrivaled design. A special orchestration of thoughts and experiences of which the side effect is deeply felt emotions expressed through tears…and poetry. What a wonderful gift you have when so many people today are numb and unresponsive their own soul and life! So I leave you with these words, a hope and a promise. There is one that knows and has counted your every tear.
“Record my lament; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record? Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help.

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 (NIV)

BEing SENSITIVE is truly important, it means you have a HEART and YOU cARE! I won't STop my sensitive approach to life and people and I hope you chose to still show yours! REg... WARm HuGs, Sheeeoxo
I too have been there. I believe most people have, but been brought up to suppress it like most of us.
thank God we creative types, even more sensitive that many others, we have a way to express such deep pains AND the awesome joys of life.
So many times in a life we ask ourselves, "Was I too emotional?" We question our feelings and second guess our reactions.
"Drama" gives one no more reason to doubt what the soul is trying to say!
You have proven your reality on this one Regis!
Take a bow!

Even as a woman I get criticized for being too emotional. We have to be who we are and if that means we shed a little more than others it is who we are. It has nothing to do with being a man or being a woman, it is us being us. A beautiful poem here Reg. Enjoyed tremedously.

Your poem reminds me that we shouldn't care what others think. My son is 16 and asked me just last night, did Dad ever cry in front of you? His father died 10 years ago. I told him yes, a few times. I asked if he needed to cry and he said no, I just wanted to know. My son has cried many times since the loss of his father and I have had to encourage him each time to let it out. I don't want him growing up thinking that grown men can't cry. Like anyone else, I always feel better after a good cry.
Love & Peace,

Very profound. The initial lines contrasted by the final statement produce a striking effect.

Antoinette
When people are quick to call others "Drama Queens/Kings," I tend to think those people simply don't want to deal with the emotional confusion of another. In fact, they are often out of touch with their own feelings; consequently, shows of emotion make them uncomfortable. The same goes when always telling others to "grow up." I especially don't understand this when the person claims to care about the other person. You say you care about that person, but you don't want them to show their emotions? Granted, some people do like the attention they get from emotional upheaval, but just as frequently it's that the person screaming, "Drama!" suffers from a low emotional quotient, low E.Q. as opposed to low I.Q.. Both are a hindrance.
In addition, people like to think that they're the normal one. As a result, if they tend to rarely shed tears, they are more likely to assume that someone who's prone to tearfulness only wants attention, is abnormal, or has some sort of character flaw. They see themselves as mature and level-headed and the other person as childish, dramatic, or unstable. I wonder if it ever occurs to them that it's quite possible they are the ones with the problem or that they are cold and lack compassion..
Self-examination benefits us all, the tender-hearted and the so-called mature.
Be who you are, and detach from those who don't accept you as you are. Love and bliss to you. ~~Nordette
Yes it's a common fallacy that Men should not shed tears, but a wise man once said, that crying was essential for living, Churchill to be exact...perhaps not in those words but that's what he meant.
He lived a ripe old age :)
So did my Grandfather, he cried when things hurt too much, a mountain of a man, with a big heart, who lived a long life too.
Besides crying releases deadly toxins from the body...
Be who you are Regis, for who you are is wonderful.

You know, Regis, this reminds me of a mindset I found here in the States where you're not supposed to 'emote'...you go to a doctor and he prescribes you some pills...heaven forbid you show your tears...

Nice piece Regis. Men have a right to be people too. Malcolm
How often as a boy I was told to stop crying, boys don't cry, you're a sissy. How often when I was angry only to have it described as an unnecessary tantrum. Yet, when my sister cried she was comforted, and when she was angry, she was asked what was wrong. It is hard for boys in this drama, Regis. I relate to your poem fully not just as a piece of well written prose, but it also reminded me of the way society expects boys in particular to behave. No wonder many boys when they become men hit the bottle and become insular, too frightened to open up lest they be accused of being 'a woman'. Men do have feelings, not a mix of feminine or masculine, but masculine: masculine compassion, masculine love as well as masculine anger etc. Yes, maleness is a perpetual drama because we have to act contrary to how we feel inside. Who wrote the damn script?

Great poem, Regis. No one can really understand another's pain, unless they have themselves experienced it. A heart that's cold--emotionless, cannot understand tears...tears are healing, whether shed by male or female. If cold-hearted individuals should try to squeeze out a tear or two, then perhaps they would understand the difference between drama (as in acting fiction) or reality (non-fiction pain). Don't know if that makes any sense! :) In the end, if crying is what is needed at the moment, cry away. That's the choice you made...it's nobody's business if you do, or why do it.
Makes a big difference when sincerity is at center stage:-) Thanks for the great poem.

I think that many use tears for their dramatic effect, I don't happen to be one of those. If I have tears, you can be sure that something has stirred me in a way to create them. Tears are not a gender thing, we are all human and I would hope that men feel in the same ways that women do. Nice work, Regis,
Take care,

Reg, What wonderful response you've received to this poem. Sensitivity and emotion are precious gifts, hardly theatrical...although in order to convey tears to an audience, understanding what it is to "feel" generates a much more believable character. I pity the man who has no emotion, or spends a lifetime convinced tears are something he must hide, or who is an unfeeling rock and has none at all. Such a sensitive write.

Oh Regis, thank you so much, I cried at least three or four times this week alone,seeing my sweet sister in law who has suffered so much in this world lying on a death bed of wires, bags, needles oxygen, a women of 45 aged by sickness to look like a women of 80. Perhaps it is that as writers we are more sensitive to feelings and caring and if we are so be it. My tears are the price I pay for the love I have enjoyed over the years and to me they are a small price. I too have been told the same kind of things as you my friend so no you are not alone. As I now grow older I care less and less what people think though, when my brother who was my best friend died suddenly I wept at his bedside nightly till I had to turn off the switch, I cried openly at his funeral service and could not and I didn't even bother to try to stop as they lowered his casket. If we are to be ridculed for having hearts that care then the ones who are the ridiculers are the ones to be pitied. Thank you for saying what many have know but were afraid to admit.
