Help me.
I’m in so much pain,
Fire running rampant in my brain,
Don’t help me.
Im am perfectly fine,
Protected by the walls built by my pride,
Help me.
Im trapped within myself,
Screams like a siren asking for help,
Don’t help me.
Can you leave me alone?
I’m perfectly fine here on my own.
Help me.
I know I’m sending mixed signals but I’m hoping you see the lies,
Or the plea for help that’s resting in my eyes,
Cause I’m a man I gotta act like I’m strong,
I’ve been hiding behind these walls for i don’t know how long,
But society says that I gotta keep my feelings held in side,
Since I’m a male I’m not aloud to cry,
But maybe if you can find the cracks between the stone,
You can free me from my prison and help me find a home.

Very poignant
Many of us poets cry with words my friend... i am not ashamed to cry either in words or tears.... truthfully i wish i was less sensitive to my emotions but would that make me a lesser poet?
We are what we are. Always there will be greater and lesser in all respects. We all have as much right to be here as the stars and the trees (max ehrmann).
Purely in critique, your piece could be stronger if it had ended at the line 'help me'.
You speak the truth my friend, and I suppose that would have been a much better ending. Thanks for the feedback, it always helps.
I think a real man can cry and show his emotions. It is absolutely fine to say that you are not okay. This is well written!
I’d have to agree with you on that.
Completely relatable.
