I like women's day.

It is the only day,
When men finally respect women

For 24 hours straight.
Ryan Clark Nov 2012
I glimpse upon crimson ribbons.
Streaming gloriously, in horrid scenes.
Their beauty costs a price of pain.
A feeling bathed, in bitter sweet.

Wherefore does your  hearth give?
Nurture from fiery ****.
To kindle my faltering flame,
and bolster me to my feet.

Ode to you my crimson ribbons.
My memoir symphony,
throws fists on razor edge
and tunes the song my nerves dare not sing.

Set loose with heavy hand.
Furry far unseen.
Again I see the crimson ribbons!
Not owned... by me.

Being A Man is harder than it looks..
I have no time to talk to any kids today,

Loving myself is difficult than it needs to be..
but I'm not so perfect anyway,

About a week ago I had so much on my mind..
but was happy I was alive,

Love could try to make me happy,
When I'm simply depressed,
Can you replace,
The turmoil and end the rest,
I just wanna run away,

Like a soldier I survived the obstacles,
On the battlefield,
With the cannibals,
Ready to eat away the pride,
Just stay out of my face,

Being A Man is harder than it looks..
I have no time to talk to any kids today,

Loving myself is difficult than it needs to be..
but I'm not so perfect anyway,

About a week ago I had so much on my mind..
but was happy I was alive,

Separation from boys to men are in ties..




but I'll never take away my life.

the Manly team racked up a big score by half time
they executed play with the brilliance of prime
Parramatta couldn't register one single point
their brand of league not of the try or goal anoint

when play resumed for the second half's concluding session
it was clear that the Manly Eagles would lead the procession
the Parramatta Eels were lacking game commitment
they needed possession of the ball's vital equipment

penalties and mistakes bought Parramatta dismay
of their play there'd be no hip hip hooray
the final tally showed Manly's field advantage
which was to the loser's woeful disadvantage

Manhood is a term that avoids definition
Because it paints strokes larger than the canvas.
Men are truly like snowflakes.
An ice cold exterior
But only because we melt easy
And we're not really allowed to do that.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've just put a metal ceiling
On that half full glass we seem to pride ourselves on.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've only brought gasoline
To this 21st century forest fire that we all started.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that testosterone makes up less than 1% of my body.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that it's definitely not the first time he's heard it.

The next time you tell someone to be a Man
Understand that you've killed one.
sorry for the weird title I really couldn't think of anything

Men like me will always be alone
We're impossible to love
And what love we get
We will have to pay for

It is true indeed that you do not know me
As I do not know you
But when I first saw you
My mind's senses were altered
Odd, as you've done nothing wrong to my knowledge
But it's as if I foresee a rude awakening in your eyes
Your spiritual stench draws me near as you walk towards that girl
A beautiful girl she is indeed
Then why must you suddenly attack her?
The words fired from your mouth
Invisibly pierce through her chest
Your friends begin to laugh
You feel proud
Cause' your a man
You make fun of women without second thoughts
Because you don't care what other people think
That is what being a man is all about right?
Making innocent girls cry
As they flee to a dark spot where they bleed from the wrists
I bet you feel like a manly man, don't you?
You're a sick *******, that's what you are
In fear your words may hurt another, I continue to follow you around
There, those two boys at there lockers, you close in on your prey
Although you restrain from using your words
I learned shortly after, because you wanted to use your actions
How are those boys mothers going to feel
When their little boy comes home with a black eye
Oh but wait!
A manly man doesn't care what others think!
They even disrespect their own mothers!
Why manly man?
Why must have you hurt those boys
Because they were homosexual?
I have news manly man
Love, knows no gender
I've had enough
I'm fed up with you manly man!
Your heart is as cold as the night!
And your only goal is to show others that too!
Not if I can stop it, manly man
You just wait and see
I'll make sure you never walk again
Or even better
I'll make sure you'll never use your body again
I'll make it a package deal and take out your voice too!
No more words, no more limbs, I'll leave you crippled and mangled
But I'm sure you'll be fine
I mean, after all, you are a manly man
Right?
But I'll let you live, you know why?
Because I'm a real man
And I stick up for others, and I respect my mother
I respect girls, boys, blacks, whites
But never someone like you

I am a man, this is so
I am tall, I am broad
I am seen as untouchable,
immune to hurt
This is not true
Under the muscle
Under the broad shoulders of this man
there sits a sensitive heart
It sits there unrecognized by many
Many that do not know,
that what they say hurts
"It will just glance off him" they think
But in truth, it strikes to the very core
They do not know of my tear stained pillow
They do not know of my heartbreak,
The isolation that welcomes me
They think they know me but they don't
They do not really know my manly but *sensitive heart
There are those who are sensitive but nobody knows, even those closest to them. Try to be kind to all those who you are in contact with for who knows. They may be sensitive, when nobody else knows.

— The End —
