No one knows...
No one can.
What does it mean "be a man".
Stereotypes and fitting in,
That's what it is to become men.
As a child you're told what is "right
The urges you feel, you must fight.
Boys like girls, that's the way,
No son, No, you are not gay.
Family retreats from the truth,
You grow to be normal, an upstanding youth.
You hide your true self from others view,
And think to yourself, "if they only knew"
