They taught me to grow tall, tough and strong They taught me, never to cry A man after all I was never to meek What they forgot, am human at first! Emotions come and will overpower all but none The poor, the rich and the mighty They all cry to life’s happenings But I am a man, what can I do? They taught me never to cry!

A conflicted Mind
They taught me to grow tall, tough and strong They taught me, never to cry A man after all I was never to meek What they forgot, am human at first! Emotions come and will overpower all but none The poor, the rich and the mighty They all cry to life’s happenings But I am a man, what can I do? They taught me never to cry!
