How do you define a man
by his color
or his skin
or the feelings he holds
deep within
deep within his heart
buried by tears cried
left alone in the dark
by all attempts tried
tries and tries
but never succeeds
but still deep within his heart
he emotionally bleeds for his heart never heals
for it is eternally scarred
so by his heart he will
stay behind the bars
the bars made of your name
the bars holding back a lion
waiting to be tamed
for it is gentle and calm
for it makes mistakes but knows when it is wrong
he makes up for it
whenever he can
and that is definitely
how i define a man
very creative however I beg to differ, I measure a man (or woman for that matter) by the size of their heart, by the depths of their soul, how they treat others.......anyhoo, cute poem!
