The Untold Story of Men

[Shahrukh Atpade]

Sometimes, the smile seen on a man’s face hides the struggles inside his heart. Responsibilities, expectations, and thoughts like “men should not cry” silently suppress many emotions. Through this poem, I have made a small effort to give a voice to those unspoken feelings of men. Masculinity is not only about looking strong, but also about understanding emotions, expressing feelings, and living as a human being.
