*They are everything     Bring us to our knees     They tear us apart     How are we free     When they have our heart?     They are everything     all mighty and strong     They shake our world     Tell us right from wrong     But where are they?     Where have they gone?     The men in our lives     Are for whom we long     The men in our lives     Seeming so strong     They hold us up     And tear us down     The men in our lives     Are stronger now     As we give them more     Our love     Our hearts     Our whole self we pour     They absorb us     And sweep us away     The men in our lives     Can always have their way     And so many men in our lives tend to stray     But who are we     To be so weak?     And who are we     To not even speak?     They create us     Captivate us     With their eyes     Their opinions break us in two     But we look into their eyes     And still say, “I need you”     They come and go as they please     Break our hearts with so much ease     From the fathers that leave     To the boys that cheat     To the pain that brings us to our knees     The men in our lives are all that we need*

The Men in Our Lives
*They are everything     Bring us to our knees     They tear us apart     How are we free     When they have our heart?     They are everything     all mighty and strong     They shake our world     Tell us right from wrong     But where are they?     Where have they gone?     The men in our lives     Are for whom we long     The men in our lives     Seeming so strong     They hold us up     And tear us down     The men in our lives     Are stronger now     As we give them more     Our love     Our hearts     Our whole self we pour     They absorb us     And sweep us away     The men in our lives     Can always have their way     And so many men in our lives tend to stray     But who are we     To be so weak?     And who are we     To not even speak?     They create us     Captivate us     With their eyes     Their opinions break us in two     But we look into their eyes     And still say, “I need you”     They come and go as they please     Break our hearts with so much ease     From the fathers that leave     To the boys that cheat     To the pain that brings us to our knees     The men in our lives are all that we need*
Disclaimer: This is a poem I wrote about all the pain the men in my life have caused me. I am NOT saying all men are like this and I am NOT saying all women feel this way. This poem is simply how I personally have felt at some points in my life due to poor relationships with men.
