The Pain of a Man

They say men don’t cry.
But when the fire burns inside, is it easy to hold back tears?

He works all day, returns home with a tired body.
Quietly steps inside, yet no one notices his exhaustion.
Responsibilities, family, society—all rest on his shoulders.

He smiles, just so the world sees him strong.
But deep inside, he keeps breaking—unseen, unheard.

His heart longs for someone to say—
“Don’t worry, I’m here by your side.”

But the pain of a man
remains buried within himself, unseen by the world.
