The Unseen Man
By Devika Samaroo
I live on the strength of my conviction The struggle gets lost in the
perception
That nothing will interfere with my
evolution A toxic view of male inception
I will rise to summits unknown That being masculine means we have
no fear
Lyrics my sceptre, music my throne
I was brought up in a world
Where limits were set
I was told this boy must never expect
To rise above the dust and grime
I resolved right then the crown will be
mine
I hustled and dreamed I put the work
in
And as a man the hurdles aren't real
We need the space
Where we can express
That life can be difficult
And we do get depressed
To share our emotions
Let our tears fall
To let go of the idea
With dedication and vision We must be stoic and strong
This boy became King To support each other on the long
road ahead
My songs reflect the journey I'm on
The change, the growth, the man I
become
Brothers helping brothers
Until the very end
I choose a path that speaks to my soul
Approval not needed for me to soar
