a little something i wrote… (pt. 6)

Let down of a man —

Men are strong.

Strong like warriors.

Tears are weak.

No tears shed or feelings felt.

Curiosity kills.

Knowledge is power.

But you’re powerless.

Young black man, trust no one.

You’re weak.

That’s so white.

Why are you so gay?

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with me?

My knowledge makes me smarter,

But I feel weak.

Could it be the influence of society’s image?

My heart hurts…

Why is it that chivalry is dead?

My head hurts…

Am I white?

Why do I have to be the black sheep?

Young man, you treat her right.

You show them, love.

Love who you want

And if crying doesn't make you a man,

Then don’t be one,

Be you.
