Admittance

there’s a beautiful instance

when i watch him cave in

a tulip closing its brave petals

shrinking from mountain to stone

a lion stepping back timidly

giving way to nature’s powerful rage

a small existence hiding from the storm

letting himself become utterly human

vulnerable, delicate, insecure

the true strength of a man when he admits

"i need you"

Men find it hard to allow ourselves to be human.... But we are human and need to admit it that we are human and allow our emotions to be seen.. Thanks for sharing

It's a big issue. Women are encouraged more to talk about their emotions, but I think we'd notice a great difference, especially in relationships, if men were comfortable with this too. It's unhealthy to hold our feelings inside, regardless of gender. Thanks for reviewing!

Again thank you for sharing... I have one person that I open myself up to and she has seen me stripped down to my vulnerable moments and she has always told me that makes me more man then any other, (I still have a hard time believing that but it helps me feel better after sharing with her)... Even tho her and I are apart right now we remain connected by something spiritually and She is my best friend and my LOVE, and the muse of my writing...

Hey, I haven't been online recently, just saw your comment now. It's great even to have one person we feel comfortable opening up to. She sounds like a very special woman. It's so sweet to hear that she's your muse, I can see how your feelings for her show beautifully in your writing.
