FISH

FISH

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MAN.
You'd rather die with your hidden atrocities stapled to your back than to admit defeat.
Yet inside you feel,Β 
Defeated.

Such feelings shouldn't define how you make your next decision.
Decisions have consequences.
I regret nothing.

I have everything.
You are nothing.

Fingers type the empty mind.Β 
Blankness - in itself an illness.Β 
But one that can be cured.
With love.

Like that will ever happen.

But have hope that this lost soul will walk.
And not dig himself a grave of self-pity.
That's what it takes to be a man.

So help me God.

I am with you.
I am with you.
I am with you.

Let loose your known talents.
Wake in the call to act.Β 
When no one else can be bothered.
And act in a way to serve the purpose of having fulfilment in this life.
And in the one yet to come.

So live with
Freedom,
Inspiration,
Success and
Hope.

And live it now.

Amen.
Β

Hello Fish...

I wonder if men are secretly afraid of that and that's why they want to wear pasties and dresses or is just so the girls room is much more easily accessible?
​​​​​​
Girls must really have a thing for beards and moustaches?

I wonder how many will grow their own?

​​​​​​I couldn't imagine having to shave my face everyday and some have to shave their faceΒ  twice a day...

The things some men have to do to show their strength for hours per day...

​​​​​​Not all men are Pole dancers right?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

In life, everything is hard. There is no easy option, no easy journey. On both sides of the fence, sometimes I wish people would accept that. Thank you for the read fellow poet.
