A Man Will Be A Man

“A man will be a man!”
Why must that sentence mean bad?
Does it have anything to do with my youth,
And all the women I’ve had?
That’s all in the past
And it doesn’t mean I was unfaithful!
All it means is experience,
Not to honesty I’m incapable!
That’s an unfair stereotype
That all men have been accused of.
Those of us wrongfully blamed,
Our rights by women, we’re refused of!
Why can’t we be judged,
By who we prove to be?
Don’t treat me as suspicious
If shady, is not in me!
If I never lied to you,
Why is distrust always on your mind?
If you can’t trust me,
Why even waste your time?
I don’t believe all women are the same,
So why must you be prejudice?
Why can’t I receive the same courtesy?
Why does your doubts, exist?
Is it because all other men treated you the same,
All without dignity?
That’s making you not have faith in men,
That makes you not trust in me?
How can you say you believe in our love,
If you can’t let your inhibitions go?
How do you expect this thing to work,
If you won’t allow our relationship to grow?
I’ve never believed you would do anything
Based on what another woman has done to me!
“A man will be a man,” is the men in your past!
It doesn’t pertain to me!
