Why Men Cry In The Dark

We’re in a world where men are taught to be everything but human. Survivalist who experience hurt but dare not express pain because then you’re violent or too emotional. Survivalist who experience loss but, dare not shed tears because their told to continue taking care of business. Life must go on, right? Survivalist, who experience rejection but dare not experience self-esteem issues because everyone does not have to like you. Get over it already! The problem with these situations is that these have effects on men and it’s time to stop pretending that it does not. Yes, they are strong but their hearts pumps blood too which makes them human. Let’s stop dehumanizing our men and let them feel because not expressing themselves affects their ability to parent, maintain healthy relationships, and exhibit self-control. Men understand that I hear you and you can always feel safe to express yourself on Poetic Talk Tuesday’s #ptt.
