Right to feel?

Right to feel?

A Poem by Onlyme

I remember as a child being
told,  men should not show their
emotions or cry.
As it makes them look weak.
And women don't like weak men.

To me, that saying broke my heart.
As for me. I find that really sad and
upsetting.
That some men are still brought up
with that attitude even to this
very day.

Where they are expected to be
strong and unemotional
and show no feelings what so ever.
Like they are disconnected
to their own needs.
Like a robot.

Men are human beings.
And if they feel upset,
angry, sad whatever.
They should be allowed
to express how they feel.

And not vulnerabilities it
in a box and put it out of
sight for good. Never to be
looked at or felt ever.

It's like saying to a woman
you're not allowed to be you.

sometimes ,,,,,,,,,,,,
We are all equals and it is depressing some people still have this mindset. Very nicely expressed.
