Men vs Masculinity

baby don’t you know I love you

I shower you with my love

Kisses and warm embraces

But you process with forcing yourself on me

As if you have something to prove

So rough, so rushed

Wanting to prove your masculinity so bad

Prove that your a man

Knowing how to love does

And I not yet a woman but a girl, can turn you a boy not yet a man into one

Learn that I’m your equal not your inferior

Together evolving

interwining

Growing

I can teach you how to love

Understand that your emotions aren’t burdens

You should not carry it on your back everywhere you go

That you’re no longer a machine but a boy soon to a man

I know I’m like a air freshener in a room

Full of trash

Making the bs

Your environment tells you that your masculinity equates to being a man

To be a man is to bottle stuff up

You learn that your fists carry words

Words that scar you

That you must contain the pain

Your in environment is a old dog

That can’t learn new tricks

It punishes you for not following them

Domesticated boy

But youth still flows from your body

My love hold the healing properties to change the world

A flower that still growing

If you take one thing out of this tirade

Don’t let the hood that grew up you put you in chains

Don’t let society give you your name

You are loved black boy.
