“Boys Don’t Cry”
Boys don’t cry
though we have tear ducts
in our eyes
boys don’t cry
the sign of weakness
is far from us
boys don’t cry
middle school
high school
dry your eyes
college campus
car accident
addiction too
hard to quit
wife is gone
the job too
not knowing
what to do
rage
scream
abuse
don’t dream
other men
don’t cry
how could I
I want to
but can’t
no one ever
told me
why
