Felipe Cirino Poet I do not know?

What Is a Man?

I am a man 
I have confidence
I have a life
I have two feet and two hands 
I am a man

I walk with my head held high
Not caring so much about a woman thigh
I punch with the lord at my fist to make sure that I miss
I am a man 

I take care of the family I have 
I am a man 
I treat my spouse the same 
I don’t play games
I am a man

I do things at my best
I try not to be a pest
I wish for a better world 
One that’s not ready to be curled 
I am a man 

I write with pride
And always ride the tide
Because if I don’t I’ll always be on the side 
And I don’t want to take that ride
Because I am a man 

I have feelings that hurt a lot
That I can’t express so I let them rot
Men cry to let it go 
Hoping to get rid of its foe
Why?
Because I am a man 

If I didn’t cry or let it go would I be a man?
If I didn’t dream or have a wish I wouldn’t be a man 

But because we all do these things we are men 
So believe in men because I am a man and you now know “what is a man?”
