How To Be A Man. A Real One | Cosmacpan

a real man is not an alpha man and
he doesn't care about length
or muscle mass

the real man means first of all attitude
the courage to accept even helplessness
and the most important thing: he knows love.
the real one.

a real man knows how to show a smile
he knows how to bend down and kiss a weaker hand
and appreciate the power of a flower

the easier it seems, the more difficult it is
to control the animal that waits in the shadow of fears
to carry the whole earth on your shoulder
and yet he has time to smile

Poet's note: It's hard to get the core, the idea, out of a lot of words. I wrote this poem for myself, a normal man without the pretensions of an alpha man, a man who works, loves and lives. I don't know if I can say it's a short presentation, a label or an excuse for what I'm not.
