Emotions


We struggle with emotions!
It’s OK to be stoic
            (to act as if we’re in control)
But not to be emotional                                  (for men anyway)
            (which might imply being out of control)

But isn’t one
            just as emotional
            as the other

Emotions, feelings, expressions
            venting, sharing, remaining silent
Perhaps freedom to express
            would allow more self-control
