I’m tired of the pressure society puts on young guys

I mean

My heart gets broken And I have to hide the tears

One of my best friends betrays me And I have to act like I don’t care

If I don’t do something dangerous Then I’m a pussy but If I do I’m crazy

When I feel depressed I’m told to man up and threatened

My teachers pile on homework And act surprised when I forget

A stutter I don’t even really have Is joked about

And when you really find a good friend They move

And they really wonder why suicide is so common in young men
