You have been shown, Since your childhood;"Men are strong", You believe; Whatever was taught to you."Men must not cry", You cannot be a sentimental fool; "Men are strong", Led by example; You had to be powerful."Men drink beer", They cannot cook; You were forced to believe, "Men are superior", You don't have emotions to show.You were a boy, you had no choice, You learned not to cry; You kept hiding, Under these layers of rules.You had to prove, Your strength; By controlling your emotions, What were you supposed to do?You had to earn, you were subjected to thinkYou have to be the best at everything that you do.You were told to be dominant, To sublime your anger and pain; The rage you felt, The toughness you faked, You wanted to express; The fear you couldn't embrace.You were a rock, Moulded and reformed;You were a victim, of patriarchy and masculine norms. Ever thought; What If Men Cried?
