make the man cry

expose him to his hidden self

bring forth his vulnerability so that you can meet him there

when you do then dont make his worst expectations come true

meet him in that place where his delicate heart resides

show him that his tears are not

a sign a of weakness

but one of immense strenght,

for to cry is to step into the world

as your true self

unsheltered and without a backup plan

to trust the world will catch you,

more specific

that in this moment you will catch him,

as he is tearing his now wet clothes off,

exposing the scars hidden beneath,

scars that still look fresh,

since they have never been treated,

never touched with the open air,

catch his eye and

watch him crumple together

as the weight of his illusionary responsibility

fades away.
