When the society says to a hurting man...

Hey dude, you've got to man up
You cannot let them see your pain
They mustn't see that you're hurt
Don't let them perceive you as weak
You've got to mask how you feel
and show them that you're strong

Hey society, this is where you're wrong
A man is also an emotional being
Those kind of words weaken him even more
You shouldn't make him feel incomplete
What he needs is a warm embrace
Tell him, it's okay to feel how he feels
How he feels doesn't make him less of a man

Dear society, let's learn to uphold our men.
