I am the Anti-Poet, Volume IX

What do you call it,
A poem that does not rhyme?
A fucking sentence.

Emotionless me

Monday, April 4th, 2011 by ahorner

Masculinity
Demands that I never show
Any emotion

My gender commands
That I never shed a tear
Or make clear my care

Those people that do
Wear their hearts on their shirt-sleeves
Are fragile and weak

I have been trained to
Find sentimentality
Cheap and annoying

I sit here stone-faced
Wishing I could feel something
Emotionless me
