Mend my shattered heart

Sitting in my room my mind floods with memories

Indulging in negativity occasionally feels good, yes please

My mental health has gone SO south these past several years

I like to drown my pain in multiple beers

That doesn't always work for me

I just absorb as much pain as I can as if it'll turn into positivity

All I want is to feel like I matter

But truthfully I feel like a bother

A bother, a burden; take your pick

Sadly, I won't get the validation I need because I'm not a "chick"

In my experience nobody cares about a guy's feelings

Men with feelings are defined as weaklings

It's a tragedy that has lead to some sad events throughout history

Put your hands up if you agree.

Men should be able to share their emotions too

I started this poem because I was feeling blue

This website helps me get that validation I desperately crave.

It is definitely one of my fave

Writing out my feelings helps me cope

It gives me just a little bit of hope

That someday I'll find that special someone

Someone that'll accept my shattered heart and mend it

Mend it and erase all that negative ****

Since its been awhile since I wrote a poem I figured I'd get out what has built up.
