INVISIBLE
Because I am a Man
I will never be free to do
and say what it is
I truly feel I need too
Because I must provide for all others
in my life
Because of these duties
I stay on the up
At the top of society deafly and
stereotyped by masculinity
That’s why I’m stuck
Seen through the eyes of a woman
I can only be one way
Strong and persistent
Because only then will she stay
Driven souly by the force of a
woman
That’s my motivation to give
the best of myself
So I can glare in her eyes
The alluring sound of her voice is my
soul purpose to survive
Excuse me, excuse me
Hey baby what’s you name?
Talking to me sir?
What’s your plan?
Name your game?
Eminent above all
the rest interested,
you playing?
Only if you real baby!
Man, you got me I’m staying
Never weak can’t show emotion,
Never should you cry and allow
them to see!
Because they will beat you down and
have you kneeling at their feet
But when you don’t give in, they
call you a
bastard, say you’re cheap
My struggles with manhood is
maybe, the
REASON why I cheat
I can’t be the man you want
If I’m not allowed to be me
The imperative struggle with the
opposite sex
Given first to me by the voice of
my mother
She trained me not to fall prey or ever
play the part of a sucker
The power of a women can be
strong son,
watch your back!
Out the mouths of my boys,
jump on that dog
See that ass, its fat
A tug of war
Pulling in many directions
self convicted
and always on guard,
I am tired of the depiction
so go ahead
society and cancel my subscription
Man
Are you a man?
Am I a man?
I ask myself everyday
Now I have a son still jaded,
what should I say?
Should I allow him to be in touch
with all angles of self?
In turn making him stronger than me
Writing his own rules defining
his version of man
Not locked inside a box and guided
by his own hand
Seeking a change
I need to break away
In order to be a better me
I need to break away
In order for me to mentally be free
I need to break away
Because I’m destroying my- self
I need to break away
To rescue my love from off the shelf
Cause when I hurt
He hurts
And if he hurt
She hurts
And if she hurt
We hurt
We
Reflects me
Family
They are my accountability
You know my own responsibility
My focus
Guided by my hand
They are me
And I am
MAN
