Men, the Roots of Family

What does it means to be a man?
Its not what we learn as a child,
The freedom, superiority, happiness is all a lie,
A man is merely a puppet to live according to a plan,
Plan on how to be able to take responsibilities,
Responsibilities that becomes a reason of fear,
Fear of not being able to live upto the expectations,
These expectations haunts the lives of every men,
From birth men are tought to achieve certain goals,
Its not about achieving their own happiness,
But to be the reason that everyone else smiles,
Men are supposed to protect and feed their family,
Men are those underrated humans,
Who are always blamed for their existence,
Yet less appreciated for their efforts,
Men are not those creatures who are always selfish,
But they are those beings who sacrifice all their dreams,
men are not suppose to be bad creeps,
So Just learn to live like a man,
Not to prove your manhood..
