UP
Man up when I am gone
Don't victimize yourself
Entitlement does not become you, sir
A shade I do not know
Man up.
She said, Man up,
Don't make me sick
Go manhandle that stick
Too big to meet my need
Too small to fill my void
Too damn pathetic.
Man up when you are down
cause times have changed for real this time
I'm not around
No more
She said
No more
Man up.
He felt betrayed and bitter
a bed of dirt you trample on
a puddle of mud when you're a pig
a smudge you can't erase
You panic
It won't do
The night a sorry while.
Can't bear your face, he said
Your angry face, he said
Your cold and ruthless face, he said
Deceitful face, he said
when he broke down in silence
ashamed and fully unaware
not once acknowledging
the rule of time
that ultimate defender
king of everything that's right.
We are no more, he said.
Man up, she said.
Man Up.
