I have seen you sleep with bottled up tears

All those times you suffered in your masculinity

“Men don’t cry though” they said

Almost tested your suicide attempts when it was full.

Those times when all of this back then would be seen as weakness,

 

I have seen

You take insults like a champ, but none asked you whether “are you okay”?

Tear yourself in that stench drink.

I have seen you pity on yourself hatred lucky enough you didn’t take your advice,

“Who knows what?” They mumbled.

I have seen you love yourself for your mistakes and hated yourself for decisions, vice versa.

You didn’t cry, you bottled it up in the name of Strong.

 

I have seen you love walls they never cared to love you back.

You tried and failed to be strong how about you cry now.

Even the sun rests every noon, it will be strong again tomorrow.

Let those tears fall and you rise, hope the world sees you shine you deserve it.

Cry those tears let pain ooze through those eyes,

If you don’t cry, you may not see the road clear anymore.
