The Dried Up Well
He struggles with emotions
He struggles with emotional wounds
He struggles alone unable to share
He struggles alone slowly self destructing
For his well of tears is dried up he cant cry
He was socialized to believe men don't cry
He was made to believe men don't show weakness
He was made to accept men never admit weakness
He struggles alone unable to shed those healing tears
For his well of tears is dried up even hurt he cant cry
The soul wound festers making him maladjusted and bitter
The once jovial youngster now days is all gloomy and sad
The once promising destiny has now been poisoned by fate
The once radiance person now walks with his head cast down
The well of tears dried up but id rather he digs deeper- tears
