Pain Complexity of a Man



Damn I'm going through a lot,
I can physically feel my pain,
Though it's all psychological,
It feels like rain,

The pain,
Never seem to subside,
My eyes,
Never seems to be dry,
Dear God,
Where's the peace?

I'm a man,
So I can't open up,
You may take me through this,
So I can open up,
Why do we men,
Fail to open up?
We have hell chasing us,
We don't express it,
So it's mentally bottled up,

Though the psychological weight of it all,
Crumbles us,
We try to be tough,
But we need to open up,

It's ok for things to bother us,
It's ok to feel things are too much,
It's not being soft,
Just being real enough,

To express yourself,
Or ask for help,
You can't do it alone,
Slow down and catch your breath,

A king can't have a kingdom without a wise counsel,
Knights with armor to help defend his nice houses,

The more we realize we're not alone,
The better we'll be,
The more we realize we can't do it alone,
The better we'll see,
That the weight will be manageable and comfortable enough to breathe,
And opening up helps free all of us,
Even me,
We must,
Express how we feel and what we're going through

Inspired by Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It"

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit
