Why Can’t A Man Cry?

Your pain shows the path to healing… you can’t escape from yourself.

Tired of all the posturing.
Tired of the fear that fosters it.
Tired of seeing feelings as preposterous.

Everyday was strife stricken.
Strong emotions struck at random.
While sitting.

Thought they had been drowned by time
flowing steadily.
But while I tried to run,
they stayed one step ahead of me.
Thought they were dead to me…
They just wait til I make it to bed to peek,
their head through the walls
