What it Means to Be a Man

What does it mean to be a man?

 

Show me what you want to be

It's not about pushing a girl as far as

you can

Just show her what she needs to see

That the heart is merciless

Corruptible by design

 

Its weakness is that it's not trained

by the mind.

 

Or is that what it means to be frozen

Paralyzed by the fear of being free

 

I'll show you what it means to be me

Constricted by hot embraces

And coming after more

The moth that's drawn relentlessly to

the light that will blind it

Mercilessly, she can't resist its

beauty

its warmth

its mystery

 

So show me what it means to be a man?

I want you to be.
