Poem

I am a woman and I'm not trying to speak on behalf of men with my poem... 
But, I do know many men are struggling... 
Today more than ever... And I wanted my guy friends to know that I love and support them and that I don't expect them to be tough... 
I hope that they know they can be themselves and that needing help and speaking about your feelings isn't a weakness... 
Take care and best wishes... Be gentle with yourself and others... 
"No man is an island." ~ John Donne

To be a man...
By Michelle Morris
10/11/2020

To be a man in a world turned upside down,
Trying to support your family and keep your business around is a constant battle, especially when we're living scattered... 

To be a man in a male dominated society, 
Being expected to always stay strong -
Never showing weakness to avoid being pounced upon...

To be a man setting an example for his children,
Trying to show integrity, feelings and reason;
It's overwhelming to so often be criticised that you don't know how to be anymore in front of society's eyes...

To be a man should only be a need to be yourself; finally free and able to ask for help;
For we are all deserving of kindness, love, support and respect...
For we are all human, lest we forget...
