I over heard a man say,
In all tone tailored misogyny.
"Women only write to gain sympathy;
trauma is the only word that they know to write in their tear stained diary's.
And the only "gentle-man"
kind enough to wash their emotions down,
chasing fire with gasoline.
Secretly wished he drank his filtered water silently..."
In all the heights of talks at the bar.
Shots being set off
like battles to march.
Blitzkreig novelty in subtle exchanged gazes.
Awkward waives of air strikes,
cued me to infiltrate with a statement.
If we could rewind back a bit:
Manson.
Corso.
Frost.
Shelley.
We as men,
we got paper in that social economy.
We've cornered the market with deep pockets,
and I'm personally buying up property.
if you have any trauma on this street
all the way to the corner of Fuckitall and defeat,
your words pay indulgences
to my agony.
We as men sank the dollar down with women walking away thinking we are just crazy.
We convinced ourselves we are rich and strong...
we are rich and strong...
...rich with strong anxiety.
Too bad an ego doesn't have a mirror to flex in proudly.
When things start looking good,
We question everything-
until we ruin the quality.
We wish we could start
handing out apologies
that could clean ourselves off
of guilt and second guessing
while we simultaneously
call out to every hot body we see.
That isn't boys being boys, that's mania.
We beg for a monetary insanity.
We pay for Electro lobotomies
And we take it like a man!
Like a homeless man...
shaking his can empty,
the only reflection
that's relevant of me.
I am the Can filled empty,
emotionally starving for change.
You can invest into our **** measuring moments ,
and track how many times quarterly we lose inches to self-pity,
we trade reason and go all in for compensation!
If we had a board of executives,
they would think for...
Ehh maybe a second; (meh)
Who needs to be invested?
when hair gel and resentment are certified and cost effective?
Blame, shame,
**** displayed disco games.
These are the tools we need as men,
Oppression, projection, beard cream, soggy dreams
We stuff our pants big
With a little tragedy.
All to have this conversation.
When the dollars weak
print out sexist paper statements
to inflate insecurities.
We men, we no speak.
Cause our fathers didn't put money into a *****.
We buck up or pay up.
the only men we can hear talking
Washington, Franklin,
and Lincoln penny's.
We ***** ourselves
And waited 30 days for warranty.
And took one for the team!
One more for someone else's American dopamine !
Kronos out of this time.
the statue we built of Atlas, crumbling.
Can man no longer lift the globe and say he needs nothing?
Has Gaia come home demanding her sons to reap what is printed on a receipt?!
Men who don't talk about trauma are traumatic.
If diaries are more soaked in women tears than ink,
why do we rub their faces into their single word dictionaries?
Is it so they cannot breathe the possibilities
that their tears and ink have formed other words
WORDS that could create sentences
SENTENCES on those stained pages
and all over those PAGES
She would explain it all;
In TEARS
and INK
and STAINS
"WE ALL FEEL PAIN."
Trauma bets against us all and leaves no *** or races.
Write trauma.
Right trauma,
By writing trauma away.
Women/Men.
