Phureus - Hello Poetry

From the day we are born, we’re told to be a man in one way or another. Big boys don’t cry - wipe away those tears…early in life we’re taught in silence that we should suffer. No one really wants to hear our cries… We just say we’re ok because we know our feelings are going to be denied. For the most part we’re only seen or shown love on Father’s Day, birthdays and holidays or when we shout… Pay the bills, protect your family - that’s what being a real man is all about! Those are some of the conditions that the average man is loved… Give all you got to your family - place nothing above. Being vulnerable for a man is never easy, Having that vulnerability thrown back in your face, is soul crushing please believe me! We become distant and told we’re too mean and too closed off… You’re a bad father/husband or you’re not my boss. When we cry - we’re too sassy - man up. We play video games or want to hangout out with our friends - you need to grow up! Doesn’t matter if they cheat, steal, stress the hell out of us or lie… We’re supposed to give our all to everyone else until the day we die… In our absence, are we truly appreciated? That’s when they realize, we did the best we could out of love - not because we’re obligated. He was a great man, father, brother, and son He provided and protected for his family - there’s nothing he wouldn’t have done. Now, you’re getting a lot of love for all those years… But the words that they’re speaking are falling upon dead ears. Of course every man’s life isn’t the same, But every man has found himself suffering in silence surrounded by loved ones - hoping for change! FELLAS!! HAVE A GREAT, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

Being a man

From the day we are born, we’re told to be a man in one way or another. Big boys don’t cry - wipe away those tears…early in life we’re taught in silence that we should suffer. No one really wants to hear our cries… We just say we’re ok because we know our feelings are going to be denied. For the most part we’re only seen or shown love on Father’s Day, birthdays and holidays or when we shout… Pay the bills, protect your family - that’s what being a real man is all about! Those are some of the conditions that the average man is loved… Give all you got to your family - place nothing above. Being vulnerable for a man is never easy, Having that vulnerability thrown back in your face, is soul crushing please believe me! We become distant and told we’re too mean and too closed off… You’re a bad father/husband or you’re not my boss. When we cry - we’re too sassy - man up.

Other baby daddy's ask me where my secret lies I tell them my children are everything from their laughter to their cries Even through the baby momma drama I try to see things through their eyes They didn't ask to be born So why should they have their hearts torn From the mistakes that we made The late night fights the games that we played I'm a father phenomenally. Phenomenal father, that's me. When I walk into the room my kids stop and stare at me The look on my face My hands upon my waist The way I look around the room to see if anything is out of place The look of satisfaction they have, when I tell them the room looks great Now you can go play Go outside and enjoy the rest of your day I'm a father phenomenally. Phenomenal father, that's me My kids tell me when they grow up they want to be like me I smile say thanks, but be better then what you see You can be anything you want to be A lawyer, a doctor, the first female pres You can do whatever you want you got your whole life ahead The world is yours and everything in it Don't underestimate your self the sky is the limit I'm a father phenomenally. Phenomenal father, that's me. Now you understand why I'm so proud My children are my life the reason I smile Even when we fight, you talk back and get loud I say Calm down, stop stressing You got me loosing my hair we wouldn't be having this conversation if I didn't care Cause I'm a father phenomenally. Phenomenal father, that's me.

I really want to walk away Sometimes I just sit and contemplate Sometimes I want to be all by my self Sometimes I don’t care about nothing else Sometimes life will seem like nothing’s going right Many cloudy days and for other people, it’s shining bright Caught up in your brain Blinded by you pain Hoping you regain your sight All the while You have to smile Convincing others everything’s alright But you’re dying inside It’s getting hard to hide You start to question why are you still alive You can’t deny That feeling of, you want to die So you sit alone and cry Asking why god, Why Sometimes I really wanna walk away Sometimes I just sit and contemplate Sometimes I wanna be all by myself Sometimes I don’t care about nothing else You’re forgetting Your life is worth living It’s a blessing, each day that we’re given I know it’s hard, when you’re trapped inside your mental prison Feeling like no one cares or takes the time to listen The pain to stop, is the only thing you’re wishing Even if the flesh is non existent Your soul Will always hold What you’re feeling You will leave you family and friends with you’re dealings It’s never to late for healing Close your eyes, drop to your knees and raise your hands towards the ceiling Praise thy name and let the glory in Doesn’t matter why or where you begin Because each and everyone of us are full of sins Sometime I really want to walk away Sometimes I sit alone and contemplate Sometimes I wanna be by myself Sometimes I don’t care about nothing else Even if god you don’t believe. Believe in power of beliefs Believe in better days Believe better, will come your way Believe that this isn’t your end Believe that a new will begin Believe you’re not alone Believe we’ve all felt homeless while confining ourselves to our homes Believe it or not. It’s not only you Believe it or not it’s something we all go through Believe giving up isn’t the answer Believe in the book of your life, this isn’t your final chapter.

To me the meaning of life is living It’s making the most out of each day we’re given Each day starts a new What you do each day is up to you Stop acting like we all aren’t human Lying, cheating, stealing and over consuming Glutens for punish is the human race Every other thing we do is full of hate I always thought love was the humane way That seems to be a fairytale today It doesn’t seem to exist outside of what we know It doesn’t seem to exist outside of what we give life to and help grow Hate seems to be the new truth It has divided us all ever since our youth It’s a shame that as adults We still have the same results As we did when we were younger Does anyone care about those who suffer We ****** it up in the worst way I can only hope our kids can bring better days I hope you’re telling them to open their hearts and minds Really get know others and you’ll find All time is precious and borrowed We all deal with life’s many different sorrows Some more than others, no doubt But that’s what understanding is all about It doesn’t matter which side you take If your not taking the time to listen, your just spreading more hate Our children’s future may really **** All I have to say to you, the ADULTS IS *** By Antoine Weaver

No one tells you, when you’re born That life will leave you battered, tethered and worn They try to tell you truth By saying be patient and enjoy your youth Have fun while you still can A phrase that as time passes by, you will understand As a child, I was carefree and curious As an adult, everything is so serious As a child the days seemed like they never end As an adult, sometimes I don’t want to get out of bed as the day begins As a child, I was open minded As an adult, sometimes I need to be reminded Of how loving and nurturing life can be So through the eyes of the young Tone, I try to see There will always be scrapes and bruises In this bumpy road called life I wouldn’t call it loosing There will always be obstacles, no matter which road we’re choosing As long as it isn’t life ending In the problem that comes your way, there’s a new beginning Space for new growth a time for change Sometimes **** happens and there’s no one to blame Living isn’t for the weak, only the strong will survive No matter what you’re going through, on this day we are all blessed to be alive Stay strong my friends!

Living isn’t for the weak
