Men are not supposed to cry

From a tender age, you are taught to be brave Be strong and powerful, and maintain a bold image Play with bikes, not with dolls Watch some sports involving a ball

Sad movies to watch because you need a good cry.


 


 


 


From a tender age, you are taught to be brave

Be strong and powerful, and maintain a bold image

Play with bikes, not with dolls

Watch some sports involving a ball

And there is one thing you just don’t dare

Never ever do you show up with your tears.


You are not allowed to be sensitive

Being emotional is just not your thing

It’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to shout

But once you cry, your manhood is in doubt

You are suddenly the talk of the town


Your tears are enough to make you a clown

“Look at that man, he cried yesterday

And for what, it was just his mom’s birthday

What is there for him to cry about?

Is he even a man, I doubt!!”


So all the guys out there, listen good

You can be violent and you can be rude.

But one thing there is that you should never try;

If you are a guy, you are not supposed to cry.
