CHAPTER – 4 (POEM)
CRYING
WRITE IN CLASS WORK
Summary
The poem revolves around crying and finding happiness. It begins by
telling people that when people cry only for a little bit, that will not help
them at all. It says that it won’t be of any use. This is so because when
you cry a little, you don’t let it all out.
When sadness remains inside you, you can never be truly happy. So, the
poet appeals to everyone to cry their heart out. The poet wants you to cry
until the pillow gets completely soaked in your tears. This way, you will
know that everything is out.
The poet proceeds to tell us that when the crying session is over, you
will feel lighter. This is because you have taken it all out in the form of
your tears
Further, the poet goes on to say that if you want, you can even open the
window. You can enjoy splashing in the water and having a good bath.
When you enjoy, it will catch people’s attention. Some might even
question you as to what is happening over there.You can simply just
state that your happiness was hiding in the last tear you just shed. This
way, you can go back to enjoying your shower without any worries.
