Men
Speak
Silence
Even in supportive environments for men there is always a quiet pressure:
to manage their emotions quickly.
So they have learned to share in fragments.
Or nothing at all.
For many, options remain limited:
Therapy, if something breaks.
Dating, if they are lucky.
And silence in between.
But where do they go when they are just tired? Or lonely?
Where do they bring the thoughts, desires, memories,
too tangled, or too tender, for the outside world?
Most places are not made for that
And often, neither are relationships.
