Case Hardened.

sonnet in tetrameter

Case hardened

 

A macho man must strut his stuff.

Because he lacks the sense to see

That any man who’s man enough

Can let his feelings show freely

Secure in his identity

He does not care what other say

about his masculinity.

He chooses to go his own way.

But macho men feel they must hide

 behind a shield of bravado

But deep inside they’re terrified

 that other people get to know.

Their attitude is self defence

their bravado is all pretence
