Why Full-Fledged Men Behave Like Steel
WHY FULL-FLEDGED MEN BEHAVE LIKE STEEL
Men; though corpulent and full-fleshed,
We still break down and lose form.
A woman is expressive and detailed. Yes!
But men? Can't be said of a lot of them. Yeah, most definitely and absolutely undebatable!
Why we don't tell you about our day at work?
Bcos we don't want you to know that we work too hard
yet make too little compared to you or your friends.
We do not want you to worry and transmit to the kids.
After 10 hours work day or more, we come back home,
try to fix what needs to fixing without complaining
even if it cost us our health or comfort
bcos we do not want you to feel we can't handle it,
so that you trust us to think we've got it under control.
Men can be strong or stone-hearted at times
but women get overwhelmed a lot bcos of their work load.
Oh really? Well, that could be true too!
But here is a living and naked truth:
We don't let you see us get overwhelmed
Cos we want you to feel everything is okay
so that you could be comfortable and be at peace.
But it definitely does get overwhelming sometimes.
It's not manly to spend time in the shower, Mr Man!
Hmm...why we take a long shower sometimes?
Truth is, sometimes that's where we let it all out;
The pain, the disappointment, the hurt and the weight,
sometimes that's where we don't withhold our tears,
so that nobody will see us or hear us when we cry.
Tho responsibilities & expectations stay high,
just know that men still try...but men also cry.
