If I behave unstable It is not intentional I blame it on you Yes, on your narratives That boys don't cry You say men shouldn't cry You see crying men as weaklings Why shouldn't I cry my cry Even Lions cry, so why not? We have all been mis-schooled Depression comes in different shades Crying is soothingly therapeutic So, let me cry my cry in peace Or is it your cry? One day, your time will come If I sink into depression Because I am being a man When depression leads to death Will you take care of my loved ones? Can you legalise your promise? I vented my anger on drinks I became a chronic drunk I laced it with womanising I became nymphomaniac I am first human, then a man All you need do is ask nicely Maybe we can be good friends That we may cry and win together Stand up for the boy child Tell them it's okay to fall and cry How do you cope with a falling grade? I am single and unmarried Married and unhappy Do you have a nagging partner? "Every Mallam to his kettle" please Don't add if you can't help I have a right to cry It is not a weakness It is a display of emotion Ask women, they cry in sorrow and gladness Stop the emotional blackmail There is a child in every man A tear in every gland Boys lives matters too Let me heal and cry in peace Spread the news... Do you know my story? If you know my past You will appreciate my pain Then my praise Boys needs help too Failure is but school, learn Suicide is not an option Marriage is not by force Singleness is not a curse If you are hurt, cry your cry When a breadwinner dies A wife looses a husband A child loses a father A family looses a sibling It's okay to cry, so cry... Don't vent it on addictives If you have ever been told "Man up; boys don't cry" You have been abused Gather here, let's cry together

Men Cry Too
