Sometimes a man looks in the mirror
and doesn’t recognize the person he sees
Sometimes the hurt in a loved one’s face
makes a man feel like a failure
Sometimes a man speaks
and he hates the sound of his own voice
Sometimes the only way a man knows how to express his fear
is through anger
Sometimes what a man cannot provide
is a source of humiliation
Sometimes a man tries to blaze his own path
and gets lost in the shadows of the trees
Sometimes a man invests his sense of worth in things
that ultimately make him feel bankrupt
Sometimes a man tries to carry the weight of the world
and it crushes him
Sometimes a man wonders if all of his effort
really makes any difference
Sometimes a man’s heart breaks
and it doesn’t make a sound
Sometimes a man needs to be reminded that he is only a child in the eyes of his Father
and that nothing depends on his perfection
