First time he died when he was told boys don't cry..
Again when his truth was foreshadowed by his sisters lie..
When his marks were compared with his neighbouring child..
When he caught his first love cheating on him with his best friend..
He felt the agony he had never felt before.
His whole body went numb and his mouth dry..
His heart shattered and eyes welled up..
But then he remembered what he was taught..
Boys don't cry..
No matter what.
Boys don't cry..
He worked hard all day and through the nights..
He died when his boss wasn't satisfied..
When he felt like he wasn't doing enough for his family..
When his wife couldn't see how hard he was trying and when she thought he was lying about those meetings..
He died when his wife thought he was cheating..
He was filled with rage and pain at the same time..
His whole body went numb and his mouth dry..
His heart shattered and eyes welled up..
But then he remembered what he was taught..
Boys don't cry..
No matter what..
Boys don't cry..
He died every time his mother and his wife had arguments and he just couldn't take sides..
When his old father got paralyzed..
He died when he invested all his life savings compromising the future of his child..
He died when he looked into his old mother's eyes..
When he felt helpless..
Could do nothing but watch his father die..
He felt the emptiness that he had never felt before..
His whole body went numb and mouth dry..
His heart shattered and eyes welled up..
But then he remembered what he was taught..
Boys don't cry..
No matter what..
Boys don't cry..
He died a 1000 deaths before he finally died..
