Olny a Man

Only a man would understand these struggles and pain and yet not cry Working a job you hate trying to redirect all hate knuckles sore and bruished Trying to handle responsibility and being a lover a father A work day doesn't end each moment a constant fight another struggle but can't afford to shed a tear Nor reflect upon the hurt shaking it off people are depending upon you setting personal feelings aside Being a superman who bleeds cut and injured from life battered and belittled A paycheck doesn't equal to this pain being forced to suck it up and deal with it holding back the tears
