What if I’d better cry?

What if emotions I do not express through my body will then manifest in body illness?

What if I don’t cry when things are very sad and get lung problems? What if I hold back what I need to say and get throat issues or just can’t stomach a situation and get digestion problems or someone is galling me and I create gallstones or I cannot find joy and develop heart problems?

What if once I find what is needed to be said or done, my body issues begin to evaporate? What if I do not choose to get better?
