Real Men

[zephyr]

I’ve been told that men don’t cry

I’ve been told that they don’t feel

I’ve been told that men don’t give a damn

Are these men for real?

 

I am just a simple man

No need to prove myself

I am the way that I was raised

Is that why I’m on the shelf?

 

If wanting to be loved is a crime

Then I am as guilty as sin

If yearning a lovers touch is a crime

Arrest me, lock me in

 

Bind my heart, restrict my chi

Rend my yin and yang away from me

Upset my balance my spiritual being

Send my equilibrium downwards reeling

 

A strong willed woman is what I need

Someone who’s driven but never by greed

Someone to reciprocate tender feelings

Someone to end my emptiness, fill me with well being
