Inert

Once a boy,

Always a man.

Becoming such takes countless breaths,

Countless regrets, and untrained attempts.

Tell me what you want to see.

Tell me I'm the diagnosis of your symphony.

Tell me I can unwind your consciousness.

Tell me I can relinquish this affliction.

Startlingly honest and raw. Unrealistic expectations of what it means to be a man. Extremely well expressed.
