Born With Issues

Born With Issues

A Poem by Anthony Guest

To be born into this world as a man, is to be born into a world that you are not meant to belong
To as you are, with an image and purpose that is predefined ,
We are raised with the burden of building a stone wall around our hearts that harbors our pain , that Turns to a sea of sorrow and the love we possess swims in these toxic waters becoming poisoned,
The love we possess is deep yet it is fragile like the roots of a tree we hide them deep within
Ourselves, not out of the hate of these feelings but because our love makes us our most vulnerable ,
Its not the fear of someone breaking our love into pieces that drives us away from it, its the feeling of that weakness, that thought of not being able to trust oneself, Creating insecurity and pain,
Through that pain the sea becomes wild and overflows poisoning all those it touches, we move
Through life lost to a daze of false comfort appeasing our egos that were programmed into us by the world at birth, accepting the identity of ignorance as who we are, fore it gives us the shortest path to a imitation of bliss and peace within.,
Men are born not knowing how to love ourselves ,and if we cannot love ourselves we cannot love another, all that choose to walk that path of self identification to rid themselves of that toxic nature, walk a path of constant change and constant growth , this path is arduous filled with trips and falls, but those that stand back up, grow into what they are, what they should be a men.

All men are born with the need to identify themselves. We are not perfect by any means, and in fact it’s not something that can be achieved. There are Those that think they are fine the way they are and they may be for the moment of time, but they do not realize they have stunted themselves from growing. With that there toxic nature will always show in one form or another in life.
