The struggle of men
The struggle of men
Is it the pupil in our eyes
Or the retina directed rays
are we failing to adapt in the light
Or our world is not bright we lack accommodation
We as men suffering
We struggle to love and find motivation
We might care but the disease is there
We love ours with the limited feelings
And desire others until we succeed
Then we feed ourselves and leave
We as men struggle to appreciate
To appreciate we struggle
You men see beauty then want
You get and see less or no more
You in the battle believe me it’s war
You fight not to control your desire that is said to be love
But not it’s lust you get and realize
You struggle to love yours and not want others
You fish men, I would swear women are worms
You prioritise no more when tempted
I would say love is blind if It was but lust
Or intimacy desire
By men who struggle to love theirs to the fullest
And make them share with the ones to drop after well fed
You promise the world to the strong ones
If shaken you win or use the weak ones
You capable of love but decide to make them seeds, you doves
You steel magnetized by booty you desire and hope to feel
You feel get bored and leave a wound that won’t heal
You men struggle, you struggle to appreciate
You struggle to accept the uniqueness of women
They beautiful and like fingers will never equal
Too bad there’s no tallest finger to them until you appreciate
And make yours, new day new faces beautiful in it level
You even chase not the beauty but the booty
you loot our own women
You men struggle
You struggle to appreciate
