As a man,
When you're drowning,
Living with the fear of failure,
Understand,
Without frowning,
When you do appear to fail you're,
On your own,
Lost and hopeless,
No one's there to lend a hand,
Tragedies,
That you can't cope with,
No one cares just be a man.
They'll tell you to open up,
And when you do they'll turn their back,
Where's my proof? What's my source?
Trust me bro it's just a fact,
I've been down that road,
Thinking there's no way I'll make it back,
I just want you to know,
You ain't the only one to feel like that.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

This is beautifully written. Well done.
Aww Dylan! This is so real and so well done. I’m sorry men have to go through this. I promise there are people out here in the world that do love and respect the emotions of men. You are not alone as long as you keep sharing. ❤️❤️
Excellent! Perfect for the new men's community. Loved the way you ended it.
