Struggle in happiness

Poetic Dan

I struggle to enjoy my happiness, that's so strange to really think. I was depressed for so long it felt like I owe it to all others never to be happy for to long!



My tissue are made from the idea I was taught to man up, boys swallow their emotions and harden up.



Girls need protection and every boy friend should know, there is a brute of man ready to bury any soul.



It's as if men don't need love and girls are never tough enough, well this does not happen in my kingdom of life.



Emotions are emotional and we all get hit the same, I'm unconditioning my conditioning and breaking all the chains!

  • Comment from author about the poem: I look back and I see the times where others happiness I would avoid, as it felt like theirs was fake. All the time I was just keeping my mind in a cage, because real is what you make. The picture I choose reflects that normal is nothing but a conditioned thought, we are unique and this reality is yours!

    Yes Dan you most certainly are doing just what you say. I'm proud to know you and witnessing you being brave enough to be the man you really are and not the crap macho sh"t we are told men are.

    You ain't no hide-away shrinking weed type guy neither which is plain to see..... you are a great leading example of what a man can find in life if he looks honestly into himself and is prepared to live it!

    Now get off that pedestal i just put u on, cos there's a strong wind coming.

      This time I\'ve checked to make sure it\'s in the reply box! You words never fall short and today is a long day for me, work then travel for my grandmothers funeral. There I will meet many people from my past and I'm be honest with you my biggest problem at the moment is my older brother, thinking I cry to much.
      She was the lady sting that kept me in, this blood connection is wearing thin.... There's some more tears to heal this wound, it is just as much of an honour to know you!
      A constant muse

      Happiness is there for the taking, PD. You should never struggle to enjoy it. If you are happy, your happiness is contagious, and soon everybody around you will be happy as well. Forget the stupid "Boys don't cry" image. Case closed.

      • Poetic Dan

        Case closed and thrown over the bridge, I will not repeat and be Einstein's definition of insanity! You the man, I follow your footsteps in the sand!

        Always a pleasure to see your name, have a great day

            Always appreciated even more so on the ones I'm more passionate about!

            You break those conditions and chains and let that heart fly free...to be the man you are meant to be...emotions mould us and expressed they should be not ruined via society...🌹

            • Poetic Dan

              That was so brilliant and brought a tear, it's funny you have joined me at a time that I'm thinking of not doing this anymore....what was to broken 5 years from a life time of pain now has no shame!

              Really appreciate your feed back and wonderful vibration of words, the energy they give is very calming!

              • Thoughts In Time

                Ahhhhh...no tears unless of joy...u can’t give up you’re only just starting...you have too much power and depth to dare give up ...I’m loving your energies...all shall be well🌹
