it's true, right?
Men don't cry,
Men don't care.

we are vultures,
energy-******* batteries
recharged by the pains afflicted on others

it's true.
but there's a fine difference between a man
and a person.
Men don't cry
but a person does.

I am a man,
I do cry but is made to
feel weak,
scared to breakdown in front
of my dad, my brother

Be a man and get over it.
You're a man,
Men don't cry.

The movies, the tv-shows,
they never stop showing the
man as this ruthless creature
reinforcing the idea of the
stereotypical, hypocritical agenda of
being a MAN.

Men Don't -
cut the *******

Men
most definitely
don't cry
because of the fear of
public humiliation.

Why?

because

Men Don't Cry

This phrase is overplayed.
it's time to switch games,
switch players,
We need to start a new storyline.
Maybe this one won't end with
the man losing his life,
because of his fear of crying
and trying to be the tough, ruthless.
energy-******* battery.

MEN DO CRY.

Men
Do
Cry

Men
Do
Care

Men
Do have
Courage
this poem is about the societal idea that men are tough, they are emotionless but this poem discusses ideas, this is what society says a man is, man is tough and emotionless because we perceive them that way. most men do cry and that's what a man is. someone who goes through **** like every other PERSON does.
