Absence made his heart grow fonder
But he was the reason for his sorrow
Pushing everyone away was his only option
Or so he thought

Society had turned boys into unfeeling monsters
And he had played the part of one
His emotions locked and hidden away
Never to resurface again

Maybe someone will be able to break through
But for now, he remains a shell
Of who he's supposed to be
And his loneliness no one can see.

In a world where males have to be the tough and never emotional ones, we find ourselves stuck and unable to express ourselves.
