We Men Cry Too

At birth, babies emit cries
Cries for entering suffering
Suffering and hurdles of life
Life triggering our growth

Growth into a strong man
Man of scars and sweat
Sweat as fruit of hardship
Hardship making me stronger

Stronger morally, for born to a woman
A woman who sometimes cries
Cries making cool her sensations
Sensations men and woman have

Have the men emit cries 
Cries men sometimes keep hidden
Hidden but poisonous to kill a man
A man of a woman share emotions
Emotions making man shed tears
