The Man, A Man

Designed to be strong
Yet, tragically flawed

Me as a man

needing to be:
Loved
Appreciated
Thought of
and supported
Yet, isolated from it all

me as a man

Taught to defend and stand guard
Yet, emotionally inept

me as a man

I stand might and tall against all
Yet, I tire from doing it by myself against the world's constant call

me as a man

Fight the power
Fight the struggle
Fight each other
yet, we must come together

me as a man

Rejected by our own
Us against the world
Yet, we make it through

me as a man

But the time is now
Take what we must
Do what is necessary
Just be us

We as MEN!
