A Man's Worth
*puts on his emo cap on* .. ok here I am again . This is gonna sound a bit darker than previous ones . Once in a while , like a garbage bin .. you need to throw the trash out of the bin when its full . Don't worry , this is just a routine detox procedure that I do once in a while when theres too many things goin on this mind . Need to clear things up a little bit you know , my way . I do not expect anyone to understand .
Are you worth anything if :
1) You don't get the respect you deserve as a human being ?
2) People always misunderstood you , despite your best efforts to prove them otherwise ?
3) You keep confusing people you care about , with questions marks all over you ?
4) You are kept 'hidden' and 'invisible' from the outside world , as if you never existed ?
5) You get ditched like dirt when you're no longer needed ?
and many more....
So , a man is worth what under those circumstances ?
We always hear the heavy emotional burden related to the opposite sex . Many have neglected the experiences a man would have . The world expects us to be the alpha male - strong , solid & calm . Able to swallow everything in and forget about it . The reality is , it can't always be like that . Sometimes you can swallow everything , sometimes you just can't . Many do not realise that it can also be the hardest thing a guy could actually do . The world expects us to be strong when faced with depression , problems , rejection , abuse and many others at ALL times .
Many seem to forget that a man is also born with a face and a heart , he is not built from rocks . We do feel , we do have pride . I have to say it is a bit unfair to blame things on us all the time . Sure , we are cursed with this thing called 'ego' , but everyone has that , even amongst the opposite sex . Being a man can be tough at times . The world expects you to just accept what's coming your way head on and you do not have the rights to complain about it , unlike the prestige given to the opposite sex .
We do feel sad , angry , happy etc... but the world expects us to combine all those expressions into one single face . We can't cry if we're sad , we mustn't look angry when pissed or smile when we're happy . I have lost the ability to do all those at the moment , even though I feel those sensations . No wonder us guys have developed our own ways of getting over our sadness , hurt , problems ... like fixing the car , taking a quiet drive on a highway (i do that) , writing or simply by just having some quiet alone time at home , just lying down sleeping .
We do not want the world to sympathise , just a little bit of understanding .
*takes off his emo cap* .. pheww .. now my head's slightly lighter :)
time to take that quiet drive to work now ...

James Brown was wrong when he sang "Its a Man's world". Its more like "Its a Man's World, only if she says so". Hehehehehe!!
