I’m a man
to the world that means
I can’t cry
my turmoil
stays in a neatly packed shelf
I’m a man
it is not acceptable
for me to tell everyone
how I love flowers
I even have a favorite one
how would you see me
if I told you that
I appear strong
and I can’t fall apart
because I was never whole
but as long as I appear strong
you won’t laugh at me
