Manhood is a term that avoids definition
Because it paints strokes larger than the canvas.
Men are truly like snowflakes.
An ice cold exterior
But only because we melt easy
And we're not really allowed to do that.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've just put a metal ceiling
On that half full glass we seem to pride ourselves on.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've only brought gasoline
To this 21st century forest fire that we all started.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that testosterone makes up less than 1% of my body.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that it's definitely not the first time he's heard it.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've killed one.
sorry for the weird title I really couldn't think of anything
