Free these chains

of being man

emotional locks

little boy hands

 

rain me love

 

surround me empathy

whisper care

don’t let go

 

Free this numbing ache

this silent scream

voids of barely living

 

rain me love

 

drown me softness

untie these knots of pride

kiss my suffocating shame

 

Free this tense state of body

my wooden mind

unwrap a solid heart

 

rain me love

 

teach me forgiveness

freedom of expression

letting go control

 

help me find what buried

when merged into role

take these shoes – too heavy to dance

this armour – covering my soul

 

rain me love

 

Free these chains of being man

lonely locks

maybe together we can
