Trying my best not to
wear my heart on my sleeve
as I come to terms
with how to grieve.
Hiding my tears so
that others won’t see,
I don’t want to show
them the real me.
A man is supposed to
take it all in his stride,
to be strong enough
to turn back any tide.
He is not allowed to
show signs he is weak,
for if he does, he may be
regarded as a freak.
Where these unwritten rules
come from I do not know
but heaven forbid you
should put on a show
by letting your true emotions out,
a reaction to your loss
that can leave no room for doubt.
Its ok for a man to show his emotions, its really isn’t a sign of weakness. You are a human being, just be yourself and don’t worry about what other people think. Do what is best to help you through the grieving process.
