"Stop Your Crying!" said the adult to the small child who was crying while being physically punished. The physical pain creating a plea in the form of tears: A plea to be free of the pain and suffering at hand.
A plea that is forced to go silent while enduring the pain. To cry more means more physical pain to come... The emotional pain stemming from the need to be heard is held like a breath under water...
No more crying... Only holding one's breath.
