Because
I showed my grief
you were surprised yet knew
there's inner hurt gnawing inside
my soul.
But then
aren't we forced
by social norms to hide
our fears lest our loved ones suffer
from them?
I take
my manly role
seriously as I can.
Yet do they know that I also
feel pain?
From my book, RUSTLE OF BAMBOO LEAVES
