No One Else

Cry.

And cry, and cry, and cry, and cry
Until you become the salt
Of your tears
When your sorrow overwhelms you

Ask for help
When you don't have the answers

Love another man
If he makes your inner bell ring
Not your preference?
That's okay

But please don't let that stop you
From holding another man's hands
When he needs a hand to clasp

Be a provider if you're able and truly desire it
Or be a dependant
It's not a sin

The strict rules and regulations
On how to be a "real" man
Can spread our
Friends, fathers, brothers
Lovers, sons, and uncles
Awfully thin

Don't let anyone tell you how to be
Be weary if the message is a broken record

You, and only you, have the right to define your masculinity

For you, and only you
Must cope with it forever
