They sneer, "You're tough, it can't be real," As laughter drowns his cracking tone. Society's smirk, that poison seal, Declares his pain sure stands alone. They preach no shame's a man's décor, Then mock him for not being strong, Yet silence seeds a rotten core: It festers loudly - feels so wrong. He's told his scars should hide and rest, That real men bite through bitter pain, But trauma stitched beneath the chest Still bleeds where pride's supposed to reign. The myth that pain must wear a bra: **** never cared for gender's tag, The pain's the same - unfiltered, raw, Yet men are forced to wear a gag. Dismiss the tale that hurt must hide Inside a body built to oppose; Pain's badge is worn with fractured pride, Battlescars, he never shows. So tell the world to drop the mic, And let the truth cut through the mess, For real strength isn't ***** or **** It's bearing wounds the world won't bless.
