Every man who is in the dark

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 08/06/2025 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 © Michelle Morris, 2025
