Big boys don't cry
Many young men are told this in their youth
By fathers
By uncles
By other guiding lights
The truth is
Big boys do cry
When they are hurt
Only children hold it in
Because so many have heard those words
They fail to have an outlet
They fail to truly grow
So when the world hurts them
They fight back
They lash out
They become violent
Overgrown children scared of being seen as weak
But
They fail to understand the true damage they do to themselves
As well as all those around them
Big boys don't cry
What a lie

Cry when there is no audience, no witnesses to what was deemed weakness. In many cases it still is. 🙏🏻🕊️
