    A Broken Man

                            Broken Man


    Keep aside your fights with ex-wives
    no need to reveal to others who have no bear
    bitter quarrels sadden even strangers
    painful baggage heavier than any measure

    You declare ending loud and clear
    "I'm so ready to move on" you often swear
    but wounded heart fills with anguish and despair
    a broken man desperately calling major repairs

    having been ther.e..I really can relate to this poem. Men must accept their feeling side and realize it does not take away...but adds to their validity. good writing.

    As a man I feel obligated to say we feel no pain or insecurities. (But some how you found them any way and expressed them lol). Very nice piece.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
