Be a man Said the father to his son, Men don’t cry, To this social construct we Must abide: Masculinity – Equated with strength and Emotional reserve Femininity - characterized by Fragility and sensitivity What if strength is much more? What if strength has no gender? Strength The ability to be yourself And pursue your aspirations despite Social pressures and ridicule Strength To maintain composure and show restraint When feeling threatened rather than allowing Fear or anger wrest control. Strength To sympathize and tolerate Those who think differently than you. Lioness prowling the savannah While the lions enjoy their slumber.
