Leave Me Be.

Leave Me Be.

A Poem by Tyler Frazier
"

In this society as a young man having to hide everything is difficult. Why can't people not judge others for being different?

"
Leave me be, I don't give a damn.
If it comes down to it, its gonna be the fam.
Put my air pods in to drown out all of this bullshit.
They make me want to give in, but I'm not gonna quit.
Quitting is what they only want from me.
Putting on a mask so they can leave me be.
You probably don't care about anything, 
to the point it becomes your new thing.
Trying my best to fake this smile and hold back these tears.
All it does is give me more and more fears.
Giving my all in school, but it doesn't cut it.
What am I doing wrong, what don't I get?
Life still goes on, yet I don't know s**t.
S**t sucks, but whats the point of throwing a fit.
Making yourself look like a baby.
If you ask me if I cry all I would say is maybe.
If I say yes I am not a man,
because being a man you cant have feelings then you're definitely not a man.
In this society as a young man I can't show pain.
What if I said I did, attack me, but what do you gain?
Do you want a trophy for making me feel like nothing?
YOU GET NOTHING!
Do I need to repeat anything?
YOU GET NOTHING!
Except bragging rights for making me want to commit.
What else do I need to admit?
We have to hide everything from what you can do.
Hiding it all just builds up, but we can't get rid of it.
As a guy we have to act like we don't give a s**t.
Not giving a damn, but it kills us inside.
If the world doesn't change I guess I'll guess hide.
Hiding away, not "caring", and BRIGHT SMILES.
Don't come in, all you will see are piles.
Piles of hurts and feelings that should have been gone.
The society I live in is a game and men are its pawns.
Just a game of chess.
Trying to knock us out if we just confess,
yer we wont: we got our masks.
What can't I do, I am not in lacks.
I have a smile and bright eyes,
yet they don't know behind our masks our life dies.
They try to break us, but we can't let go.
They ask, "do you have feelings", we say "no."
What if I said yes, what will happen?
They are just laughin.
What if we lived in a society or a world that didn't care?
I want out, this society isn't fair.
If it were fair I wouldn't have to mask up.
The society shouldn't break us down it should build us up.
Let men be themselves and let it go.
Let me be a straight man who can say no.
A guy who can cry and not be judged for it.
In a society that didn't care and dive a s**t.
Its up to us to make a change.
The sight is in range.
What's your choice in this, attack us or let us be>
Just leave me be.
