Measurements of a man

@whyreasons

“Measurements of a man.”

What does this mean?

Because let’s rule out the height,

Body mass,

And all the assessments that society defines what a man is.

Strains of biological attributes,

And psychological attitudes that are in the showings,

Of

What a man is.

Because the men that are in my life,

Show different definitions,

Within the frames

and the mentality of mind.

Different kinds that

I am pleased of,

And of course the ones,

I feel quite relieved of -

Because their push was the reason I ran to you.

Food choices of optimism,

Joy

And

Forgiveness.

Sieving out the unnecessary things in life,

Sacrificing

Anticipation and preparedness are the weapons to your keenness.

Because your priorities are clear and seen,

Like bold fonts.

Your scars are the living experience,

And is enough for to be vaunt.

And Disciplined.

Because you are the flower that grew from that concrete,

Conquered a layer of skin that shows the breakthrough,

Of the avenues that tried to trap

You.

And strap

You to the ideal fellow black boy.

And instead of you to become a product of your environment,

You grew to accrue your situation,

From the age of twenty two.

A Man.

Conquered.

His heights.

His depths.

Despite what life gave him,

Like personal challenges and deaths.

No matter how many breaths you took,

You respire success.

The way a druggy love his meth.

Bloodline of progress.

The Man above,

was the loading process to your journey.

Both Fathers,

Having your back.

And showing you how to profess to your profanity.

Stable sanity’s -

Learning @whyreasons

How to express and not,

Repress meanings.

And your emotions never dictated your worth as a man.

As to you, the feeling feel numbs.

Stoic strength is your optimum.

And tears may not fall,

But let me just tell you something.

With you,

there’s always going to be an ‘after all.’

Protocols of insensibility.

Expectations of solidity.

Feminine flaccidity.

2 grey areas of patriarchy.

Odd tones of truths.

Because the man you are today,

Is the man I wanna be with.

Is the man,

That I wanna achieve with.

Build our home.

Because my definition of a man is you.

And your scars show:

Auras of high self-esteem,

Connections and bonds between himself and his inner states.

Generic generators.

Genes of empowerment.

Enlightenment of values.

You live by you.

Your masculinity doesn’t define you.

You define your masculinity.

And your code,

Shows commitments towards your self.

Moulds of your evolution.

Constitutions of becoming a man.

Because you are the flower that grew from that concrete,

Conquered a layer of skin that shows the breakthrough,

Of the avenues that tried to trap

You. @whyreasons

And strap

You to the ideal fellow black boy.

And instead of you to become a product of your environment,

You grew to accrue your situation,

From the age of twenty two.

A Man.

Conquered.

His heights.

His depths.

Despite what life gave him,

Like personal challenges and deaths.

No matter how many breaths you took,

You respire success.

And @whyreasons

I am proud of you.
