block buster
imagine it hitting you hard
shutting you with nothing to be said
mental health in men
a secret omen
doing her evil secrets open
society calls gender
thou art son of a man
don’t be soft and tender
O men, we have an enemy
our enemy is society and customs
instructing me to be hard,not cry
and men cannot even ask why
men know their lengths and breadths
men have their wits
mental health is persoanilty weaknesses
men don’t ask for help
I laugh, these are all deceiving myths
Help!!!
men are dying
men are going mental
men are trying
to comply with norms and behave normal
mental health can just knockout
and explode
21 century; men need frequent check ups
women seek help and attention
men keep theirs in suppression
and its deadly
men, be men
speak thy feelings
and never hide thy emotions
and if worried?
seek help, take some wine
before depression and suicide
talk to someone or call 9-9-9
If you are available, help is available

My comments on the poem "Help !” by cofhypieces
It is strange how pride rules the life of man. Quite often pride gets in the way, and this can result in the destruction of the man with time. We fear taboos, we fear what people will say, we refrain from seeking help. In contrast, women talk easily to others about their problems. By bottling up their feelings, men do themselves a lot of harm. Society itself erects barriers for men and creates taboos. There are even expressions like “Come on ! Be a man !...” Yet, it is not a shame to ask for help. It is a wonder that men should have been able to survive, in these circumstances… Soman Ragavan. 21 January, 2024.
