liquid vision.

Why does the Earth stand still when a man cries?
Not a boy, but a man with a hollow heart.
His body hunches and contorts as a rebellion is born.
These salty tears are the sign of an ultimate low.
So dim those lights and draw the curtains;
He already feels like the whole world has their eyes on him.
In this moment, the male population is disgraced.
Tolerance and masculinity are replaced by the cowardice of a frail heart.
No more sweeping under the table.
He doesn't hold the cards.
Outside of comfort zones, he reacts oafishly out of instinct.
The child resurfaces and wants to be held again.
The man wants people to turn their backs and stop judging him.
After all, he's only human.


Signed the observant lesbian.



p.s.
Even if it was the second time, it still broke my heart to see him like that.
