as a man
you have to hurt
not just others
but also you must be hurt
but quiet
you have to take it
this isnt a joke or a complaint
you need to hurt
quietly
its not the pain that bothers people
its the disturbance
see
if youre an ornament
like a fairy
you can fly
and you can shine
and you can sing
and you can scream
and everyone says
que loca tan bonita
but as a man
if you are wronged
especially if you were legitametely hurt
precisely if there is good reason for you to be emotional
you cant
people dont care what happens to you
they care what happens to them
so unless you are pretty enough to be a show
dont cause one
they will tell you
you should open up
you should be free
you should show your feeling
you should let them know what hurts you
dont
because you are powerful
and you are flesh
because you are real
and you exist
because there is fear in this world
its in the dna
and you have alot
you must hurt
quietly
as a poem
on a table
in the dark
