    About this ebook

    Depressed, with his emotions holding onto a tornado, Misner wrote about love, divorce, and heartache. The poems and prose were written as he was trying to handle what life had dealt him. Written from his heart, he feels it would be valuable to share his experience with others. The poems help make sense of how people hold onto the thrills and memories of love, as they lose their loved ones. Love is possible another day. Scars will heal; hurt will dissipate, but love stays forever in the fibers of your body, the pages of your memory, and the senses of your being.

    Misner said, "When I started to write, I had no subject in mind. I had all these different emotions running though me at the same time; most of them bouncing off each other. I found if I wrote down what I was thinking, in time I felt better. I don't know why writing about pain and heartache helps you grow, but you can learn from pain. As I wrote, I got stronger and saw where mistakes were made. Maybe the next time there will be no mistakes."

    Read his writings and you may avoid riding the tornado!

      Introduction 

      The title of this book, Men Cry Too, captures the dispiriting content of the book which consists of poems and prose written in a dark period of my life. I wanted to share these emotions with others who may also be going through a rough time. I know, as I lived and battled with depression while digging deep within my mind to find answers to what was happening, I was able to hold on better when others were sharing their hardships. I realized I was not the only person with problems and unanswered questions. I can’t say my prose and poems cover any of the areas you may be questioning. However, you may be able to see that most of us are not alone when surviving life’s disasters. I took some of the prose examples from my first book, Men
