What is a man?

Is it to show strength?

And how is that conveyed?

For what we hear is…

“Be a big boy”

“Men don’t cry”

And these emotions are bottled

Adding pressure every day

Until there is an eruption

A volcano spilling hot lava

There is no discussion

My way or the highway

End of story

Rage at the tip of the tongue

And the tip of the pen

Is that what is means as boys turn to men?

Slow down and breathe

In my heart are the answers I seek

Walking and talking with the inner confidence

You might call it swag

I call it emotional intelligence

I pray for this world that is sick

And all these wounded boys can think with more than their dick

Yea it’s just a start

But to evolve boys to men

We must start from the heart

As the world needs more leaders and kings

As in more kingly energy

Not despots, kiss the ring

In my head is the empowered masculine

In my heart I revere my divine feminine

Strive for balance as life is meant to be

Balance is what it means to be a man for me
