When I was young,
My beloved dog died,
Feeling alone and sad, I cried bad,
Then they all said,
"Don't be a pussy, men don't cry".

Later, one fine day,
I lost my job,
Still I ain't supposed to throb,
Coz no matter what,
Men don't cry.

When I had a brawl,
With my trust-lost girl,
They advised to bid her bye,
And keep my eyes dry,
As men don't cry.

All my life,
I was taught,
That crying is not
My birth right.

If I weep,
I'm weak,
If I sob,
I need to grow up.
Coz men don't cry.

I do get hurt,
I do get lonely,
I do care n' I do love,
I do many things,
But I cannot cry.

Only if I could,
I'd hide behind the walls,
Scream n' shout,
That I too am a human,
Emotions do exist under my thick skin.

Then again, I shouldn't cry.
Just Coz I'm a man?

Why are men not allowed to cry? Crying is surely not a sign of weakness, it is a symbol that we're alive. In fact, we all came to this world with a cry.
