Bottled Emotions

Everyone needs a good cry sometimes.

It has been a good while since my last good cry and I am not sure why.

I would like to believe it is because I am happy but I think I have become unable to express my feelings.

Being a man you are told you must restrain yourself and act like things don't bother you.

Things do bother me and I get sad and I want to cry but at last no tears.

Has the well gone dry or have I just over tightened the spigots?

Now I am afraid if I try to loosen them because I may never be able to shut them off.

I yearn to set myself free..............
