Every man who is in the dark
Inspired by emotions. Men are often merely boys in bigger bodies. Time to heal and feel better... And be better!
Every man who is in the dark

When you were a young boy
Your needs weren't properly met
You didn't feel safe or loved
You didn't feel seen or fully accepted
It can be totally devastating
It can be traumatic as hell
When your childhood isn't positive
When your role models lack maturity
You become bigger but not mature
You become older but not wiser
Still stuck in trauma and mental loops
Not knowing yourself or trying to heal
At some point you have to take responsibility
At some point you are solely accountable
Until you know yourself and heal your wounds
You'll keep bleeding over other people
You can't keep going through life with excuses
You can't keep blaming your parents or your past
You need to gain wisdom and enlightenment
You need to do the work to become whole
Because every man who is in the dark
Every man who doesn't know himself
Will be reactive or defensive or lost
Not understanding his own emotions
He'll continue to lie to himself and others
He'll choose obfuscation and distraction
He'll choose paths that bring no light
He'll cut himself off from being human
And all of this darkness will swirl and grow
Affect the next generation in no good ways
Then raise more men who are boys
And the cycle just repeats itself
As much as it's easy to suggest solutions
Ultimately we owe it to ourselves to try
We need to take the time and space to heal
We need to make the conscious choice to be better
Because every one of us makes a difference
It's our choice to be good or bad
And every man who remains a boy
Isn't doing justice to his soul's path
If I could make a wish for them
All men who are struggling
I'd wish for them to experience joy
And to know enlightenment and healing
To understand the importance of self-love
To embrace vulnerability as a strength
To know our legacy to the world and our children
Is in everything we're prepared to face
Let's hug our demons and our darkness
Let's hug ourselves and our children
Let's embrace all emotions across the spectrum
And know peace and happiness and hope
