Brother Bob Marley sang "No Woman No Cry" but someone once said to me "a woman's tears are like diamonds and should be treasured" Why?

Is it because the way to a woman's feelings is through her eyes? Some may never know while others may still be guessing,


We cry to repair the damage of the pain and suffering

We cry when our child comes home sobbing

We cry for our struggles, past present and future

We cry for nature and every living creature

We cry for life's insults, defeats, or inequities

We cry when others try to take liberties

We cry because of internal state of distress

We cry because of inheritance, accident or illness

We cry for all leaders of the Caribbean

We cry for the loss of many strong black women

We cry because we cannot control our emotions

We cry when we feel the need to take control of the situation


By now you are saying that I am right but there are so much missing,


We cry when someone takes away our man or our husband

We cry when we are sad, angry and lack of fun

We cry when we can't seem to get things right

We cry when we see our own taking each others life

We cry for our pain, our gain and our community

We cry for our own sanity

We cry when men disrespect and talk about us

We cry because we can't stop crying and fuss

We cry for our family, friends and foes

We cry for secrets that nobody knows

We cry for happiness, sadness, loving and hate

We cry and often ask God to give us faith

Why?


Because the fact is that our feelings belong to us, we own them

So sit back relax and enjoy being a woman

And cry, cry, cry until you have reached the maximum

Sometimes, tears fall out of my eyes before I realize it
And sometimes a story or a song makes me cry.

Crying is not only a woman's thing, it's a humane characteristics.
I have never in this life heard of a human who has not cried.

Yes, I agree with you.

I remember one time I was crying when my father said to me "you are so weak" - hence this poem (why women cry)
I cried when my brother was here (he yelled at me one night) and he said the same thing "you are so weak"
I played those four words over and over again until I found an answer.
[b]I've come to realize that my strength is in my tears, the more I cry - I become weaker. There is a continuation to this poem " What's in a tear drop"

I know my tears come from disappointing those that i care about. I hate to fail or disappoint.

I also know that during PMS tears just come and those have no reason.

Just part of who i am.
