Feelings

I find it difficult to share them with you all.

Feelings

Why don’t I share my feelings?
I am a man
I’m supposed to be strong
Real men don’t cry

Why don’t I share my feelings?
I’m afraid of the eyes
The eyes making constant calculations of my deficiencies
I’m afraid of judgement

Why don’t I share my feelings?
I need to impress others
Or I will be perceived as weak
I can’t be weak

I have to be their superman
They can’t feel the feelings I do
I don’t want that
I just want them to be happy
So I’ll hide it
I’ll hide my anger, my sadness
I’ll hide it for you
Because you are what matters

Why don’t I share my feelings?
Why don’t I share my feelings?
I’m a man
I’m supposed to be strong

The poem is taught to us by father and elders.
Men will bleed and never complain.
"Why don’t I share my feelings?
Why don’t I share my feelings?
I’m a man
I’m supposed to be strong"
The above lines. I said without proper thinking. Thank you for sharing the realistic and amazing poetry.

I searched through this to find a cohesive rhyme scheme (spawned by the end rhyme in the fourth line of the first stanza rhyming with the end rhyme in the second line of the second stanza), though I found nothing. Regardless, I like this due to its validity in life. I love, on the other hand, how you let feelings show throughout the entire piece, which gave the reader the knowledge that men have feelings as well, which are just as valid as others'. This is the rhyme scheme that I got; correct me if I'm wrong:

A

This is a free verse, so I wasn't aiming for a rhyme scheme. Regardless, thank you for your review!

I could tell. I was just thrown off by a pseudo scheme at the beginning xD
