Had to pen this down
For the boy outside there trying to fit in the society
Who’s nervous, shy and a gentle soul
Don’t say ‘ grow up and be a man’
Just be there for him
Stretching to the teen
The one picked on and teased
For being fat or thin
Given names suppressing his self esteem
Won’t be hard to know how he’s feeling
Just be there for him
To the depressed soul
Whose mentality is dying
Needs someone to lean on
Be the someone, talk and listen to him
Just be there for him
To the dad to be
Who must stay strong if another pregnancy goes wrong
Holding the bitterness inside
Ask him how he is
Just be there for him
To the working father
Working late to put food on table for his family
Under pressure but stands for his family
When the pressure becomes great
It would help to know you’re there for him
To the men hustling to make ends meet
Don’t demotivate them
Don’t call their hustle bullshit
Support them, give them mental peace
Just be there for them
