Walking all scared alone at night Getting harassed on internet Increasing no. of rapes and assaults And the never ending sagas This gender - men has made life hell! for many of us... But...how can I say all of them? I cannot insult my father...and thousand other men Whom I have seen giving regard to the women I still remember that night... when my father saved that lady from a creep... I feel so proud to be such man's daughter And there are...yes there are...thousands of proud daughters and sons like me... Men who are raising men... to make this society better...safer for everyone...yes they are there. It's us women...being preyed by patriarchy... What about men? who have been crushed by this system... Why was his tear not that valuable? They laughed at him as if a clown And now I know...why clowns are portrayed deadly His emotions are considered trash I wonder when was this equation made that emotions = 10 x weakness Just hold on like that...with a straight numb face or you won't be 'man' enough All sizes are not beautiful...when it comes to him As his short height is not acceptable! He will be the 'man' of the house...with every one's happiness on his shoulders Even if...he is tired or broken inside He couldn't talk about his depression...why? Suicides eating these beautiful men... because this society can't see them opening up! See...how far we have come...forgetting about him He is not metal...he is human too... with a little heart beating...that aches the same when broken He needs to be loved and pampered He won't be less man...when asks for help Society says," we are losing gentlemen..." But who is to be blamed then?
It's not about man...not about woman or any other gender It's about human...it's about humanity. The ways boys are being brought up...I guess needs to change. Let's for once appreciate the amazing men in our society. If my father would have been a creep...and did not respect any gender...I wouldn't have the confidence on writing this poem...thanks to his parents...as he was brought up properly.
