MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH

By Reenah Ree

Men suffer in silence,
They don’t have any person to lean on,
Simply because the society depicts tears as not being man enough,
Depression is associated with weakness,
It becomes difficult to open up,
The society says you are a man they say you have it under control,
You are strong you can endure anything,
Falling apart from the inside but acting strong on the outside,
Each day seems like a punishment,
At that point life becomes meaningless,
The thought of dying brings some sort of comfort,
Suicide becomes the better option,
Not because it will help solve the pain but it will end it,
Leaving scars on people who loved you the most,
Men are human,
They need to cry to ease the pain,
They need to talk to unload the burden,
Depression is a disease that kills faster than cancer,
It affects anyone,
The society needs to fight it
