Manly Sorrows

Ta'ne King
Men with Sorrows
Hardly see tomorrow
For the insight
It Brings
Might make him see me
Then scare him a little
Why must you insinuate
Just say what you mean
Make it real
Not just weird empathy
Something that makes sense
More realistic in tune
With the world
In front of you
Face it head on
We have two kids
That need their daddy
Why can't you straighten up
Be a man
Without sorrows
Where did you go
Who did you see
Why aren't you here
Lying next to me
Waking up with our kids
Smiling happily
Where did the days go
Why so angry
Where is the man
Who always saw tomorrow
Oh no, It's those manly sorrows!
