They say;
Don’t flinch or cry. You are a man!
Don’t express yourself; your silence speaks louder. You are a man!
Look out for everyone but yourself. You are a man!
Toil day and night; this is what you’re made for. You are a man!
Hide your deep emotions. You are a man!
Don’t love fully. You are a man!
SILENCE THEM!!!!
It’s okay to flinch and cry. You are a huMAN!
Express yourself freely. You are a huMAN!
Look out for yourself. You are a huMAN!
You deserve to be taken care of. You are a huMAN!
Show your deep emotions. You are a huMAN!
Love fully and be loved fully. You are a huMAN!
You are a MAN and you are equally a HUMAN!
Thank you Grace for this timely poem. I learned long ago to just be myself and choose the man who i wanted to be. As opposed to what our society thinks a man should be. 😱😎

I totally agree. Every man should be the man they want to be, regardless of the pressures from our society. 😊
