He is crying
Crying in his room
The lights off
His tears fill his sheets
His thoughts fill the pages he writes
His pain fills him
The pain he hides
Because they say men shouldn't cry
He is crying
Behind the doors
Underneath the sheets
His tears
His pain
All hidden
He is crying
He is fighting
A battle alone
A battle against himself
He is crying
Over the pain
Society inflicts on him
The pain the world inflicts on him
He is a warrior in a battle field all alone
