the "perks" of being a man


i belong to that classification of the male species known as man i am a man and, not altogether the same i'm a man in my own league i often hear guys claim that they are men, but have nothing to show they experience mid-life crisis or frustration with life always identifying their manhood with ideals of purity, freedom, and ownership complaining of what a man should've, would've, could've done, but sinks like a battleship it's about growing and overcoming adversity it's about seeing beyond a university being a man can be scary its rewarding that separates men from boys for example men build homes, boys shack up with their homeboy men stands on his own, boys needs additional reinforcement to pretend to act tough i know life can be rough life is what you make if it i'm finding my place on social ladder now knowing where i fit in the answer is i don't fit in, i stand out i want to be glared at atrociously by the next guy intimidated by my presence but in all essence i don't find myself entertain with that stupidity i'm beyond that ignorant idiocy i continue to strive to be originally unique and defy convention and yet, attempts to classify me as every other guy is due to perception being a man can easily be said if you don't stand up for something, you will fall for everything
