I’m not romantic you say
But I am
It’s just in my own way
Growing up learning to show as little emotion as possible
Hard to express myself sometimes
That’s why it’s often easier to write little rhymes
Little boys filled with thoughts of being heroic
Introduced to the idea of always being stoic
Taught that emotion is weakness
When all she wants is for you to show it
Share your inner thoughts
Scream it from the mountain top
Let her know she’s more than a place to rest yourself
That you see her inner Athena, not just her Venus
