Inspired by emotions. Men are often merely boys in bigger bodies. Time to heal and feel better... And be better! 

Every man who is in the dark 
By Michelle Morris

When you were a young boy
Your needs weren't properly met
You didn't feel safe or loved 
You didn't feel seen or fully accepted

It can be totally devastating 
It can be traumatic as hell
When your childhood isn't positive 
When your role models lack maturity 

You become bigger but not mature 
You become older but not wiser
Still stuck in trauma and mental loops 
Not knowing yourself or trying to heal 

At some point you have to take responsibility 
At some point you are solely accountable 
Until you know yourself and heal your wounds
You'll keep bleeding over other people 

You can't keep going through life with excuses 
You can't keep blaming your parents or your past
You need to gain wisdom and enlightenment 
You need to do the work to become whole

Because every man who is in the dark
Every man who doesn't know himself 
Will be reactive or defensive or lost
Not understanding his own emotions 

He'll continue to lie to himself and others 
He'll choose obfuscation and distraction 
He'll choose paths that bring no light 
He'll cut himself off from being human

And all of this darkness will swirl and grow 
Affect the next generation in no good ways 
Then raise more men who are boys
And the cycle just repeats itself 

As much as it's easy to suggest solutions 
Ultimately we owe it to ourselves to try
We need to take the time and space to heal 
We need to make the conscious choice to be better 

Because every one of us makes a difference 
It's our choice to be good or bad
And every man who remains a boy
Isn't doing justice to his soul's path

If I could make a wish for them
All men who are struggling 
I'd wish for them to experience joy 
And to know enlightenment and healing 

To understand the importance of self-love 
To embrace vulnerability as a strength 
To know our legacy to the world and our children 
Is in everything we're prepared to face

Let's hug our demons and our darkness 
Let's hug ourselves and our children 
Let's embrace all emotions across the spectrum 
And know peace and happiness and hope
