Not a fan of this title. I am not sure what this one is. It felt like I was trying to find what it is to be a man. Not like in XY chromosomes, that is not what makes us men. But what is it? And where do I find it?
You see a strong man
Battle tested and burnt
Hollow so he can stand
Brittle but not yet cracked
I see a broken man
Battle beaten and torn
Empty so he won’t feel
Fragile but not unburdened
She sees a new man
Battle ready and tested
Blank to be rewritten
Soft but easily moved
No one sees a missing man
Battle warn and spent
Gone so he is here
Split but already reborn
