Give A Man A Break
By naninina
I am a man, breathing the same air as yours I am delivered to the World, by a mother who's now my child She dresses in black, thinks she's a nun My bitter heart shrinks when she says I am her son Jesus I take her to the doctor, I'm not sure she understands her sickness I am a man, my heart is not a stone I care for this woman, a best friend and a lover Sweet and beautiful, she is the Queen of Jealousy One forgotten phone call and she puts on a grueling drama I am a man, surrounded by hard bricks of walls I am determined to cherish two siblings who have become my dependents They are caring but always running for my guidance and approval One unwatched step and they fall apart I am a man, I cry aloud yet no one could hear I am a man, fortunate to embrace true friends who have grown to be obligations One forgotten birthday and I am at fault Call them insensitive! Cruel and unfeeling! I am not them I am a man with a heart as tender and as soft as a woman's I am a man, I am not perfectInspiration comes from "A Man" (Alanis Morissette) Ehm I'm not too sure about this one. Let me know what you think. Just trying to put myself in a man's shoes Written March 10th, 2002 © on Mar 09 2002 04:04 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
