Poem: My Frustration As A Man by david102(m): 7:23am On Jul 21, 2023
In the realm of hearts and tangled thoughts,
Where emotions dance and battles fought,
A tale of frustration, let me weave,
Of men and women, how they perceive.

In a world where beauty's treasure gleams,
Where attire reveals and stirs daydreams,
There stands a man, burdened by a plight,
With righteous eyes, struggling for what is right.

He gazes upon the vibrant parade,
Of women adorned in dresses, a charade,
In skimpy fabric, they catch his eye,
Awakening desires, he dare not deny.

But burdened by the weight of social norms,
He yearns for respect, his heart forlorn,
He wonders why temptation's painted glow,
Should beckon him towards an endless woe.

For deep within, a struggle takes its toll,
As he wrestles between mind and soul,
He seeks to see past the outer shell,
To fathom what true essence does dwell.

Yet, frustration blooms like a bitter seed,
As he wonders how a woman can proceed,
To dress provocatively and yet demand,
An objectification-free path, a command.

He ponders the enigma of the human mind,
Of contradictory signals that he must find,
For in his heart, he does comprehend,
That beauty lies beyond what eyes can rend.

But fairness asks for balance, it is true,
Not to judge solely based on what's in view,
To acknowledge that each person should be free,
To dress as they please, without scrutiny.

Yet still, he dreams of a harmonious place,
Where respect is granted with a gentle grace,
Where souls are seen, not merely outer guise,
Where understanding and empathy arise.

For the frustration borne within his core,
Speaks not of blame or an endless war,
But a plea for unity, a bridge to mend,
Between genders, in a world that must transcend.

So let us strive for empathy and respect,
To cherish the essence, not just external effect,
For in the tapestry of humanity we find,
A rich mosaic of souls, beautifully intertwined.
