Being A Man Is Not

By Shaik Afroz

Once a girl said: Being a Man is easy

as you won't need to face periods and labour pains.

I replied:

Yeah I agree.

I respect you & won't even compare with you..

But....

Being a man is not easy

At times,

We should pose strong even when

we're mentally down,

We should be calm when we actually want to scream out of pain,

We may not bleed physically - but our hearts bleed thinking about how our future would be,

how we should give our best to family in every manner.

We feel like slamming our heads to the wall for the way life treats us.

We can't even marry unless we are financially stable

- because bro No money - No respect.

Despite all of these, we were always told that -

'Men don't cry, men are always strong '

After all we are humans,

we deserve a hug,

We deserve a shoulder,

We too deserve love instead of judgements.

So let me warn you my dear,

'Being a man is not easy'

Happy Men's day to brothers,fathers who never give up whatever the cost may be…
