Because I am Man

When I am shattered, I can’t cry,

Have to smile, I have to show off nothing happened,

Because I am man,

 

When I lost, my beloved,

Have to collect myself, I have to carry on,

Because I am man,

 

When I am pierced,

I can’t announce, I have to keep quiet,

Because I am man,

 

When I am being cheated,

Have I to swallow, I have to wear silence,

Because I am man,

 

When I am in agony,

Have to relax, I have to keep calm,

Because I am man,

 

I can’t say I love you, I am not supposed to be emotional,

I can’t say I am sorry, I am not supposed to have weak,

I can’t say I need you, I am not supposed to be fragile,

I can’t say I am exhausted, I am not supposed to be robust,

 

All these, expectations, desires, rules and traditions

of this world, from  this society,  for this gender,

All are good, still, I would say to you

Men are not apathetic.
