masculinity, i think

why do you walk like you hate the floor?
why do you shut slam the door like it’s a punishment?

“i’m just making sure it’s closed”

do you expect me to believe that? do you think my heart rate (which is back to normal now) believes that?

no really, do you truly expect me to believe that

the violence that flows out of your body is, i swear dude, resoluteness

and nothing more?

i wish you would be gentle
i wish you would be kind

because i’m telling you, man
this isn’t how it’s supposed to be
