I need to heal myself
But the world wants
Something fucking else
Something mindless
Something I am not
I’m not the violent son
Cruel unloving one
Abusive cold and numb
I am the kind son
Gentle loving one
Feeling my peace
Come undone

By the violent hate
Abusive state
On repeat
Endlessly
In your
Society
Devoid of vulnerability
Destroyed by your masculinity
So will you lend me a hand
To break and change
What it means to be a man to
Love
Cry
Forgive
Try to heal inside

May I be I?
