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
