    "What is a Man"

    To some people a man is someone that tries so they do what it takes cuz they have to get by
    To some people a man is someone that don’t quit even at the Rock bottom they just deal with it and they keep on going without having to knowing but they climb
    out of the hole and continue to keep going
    To some people a man is a guy that don’t cry he’s too tough to show emotion so he buries it inside but we know he has feelings that he hides in a place but no matter what it won’t show on his face
    To some people a man is a full-time single mom who takes care of her kids cuz Daddy is gone and maybe he’s in the picture and maybe he’s not but we have to understand that Mommy goes through a lot
    To some people a man is someone that puts food on the table who works day after day even if they’re not physically able and maybe their health has got them feeling weak but they’ll provide for their families even if they sell drugs in the street
    To some people the man is someone that simply had enough and maybe it’s because he’s been through so much so he works up the courage and finally walks out and becomes brave enough to put a gun in his mouth

    • James, this is a very powerful piece that clearly describes the many ways that men (and women) struggle with identity, self worth, survival and emotion. This world can be a tough place, it can be heavy at times. There is always help, and someone who will hear you and listen. Your story is important.
