Can't men shed tears?
or is it that they fear?
Being judged if emotions appear?
Expectations of stoicism
toughness in the air
Yet suppressing tears
leading to emotional despair
Suppressing what they feel
as societal decree

But crying's natural
a way to set emotions free
Break down stereotypes
recognize their plight
Men deserve to express
just like anyone's right
Let's redefine masculinity
let's change the view
Tears are just expressions
emotions shining through
not destined to weakness
