A Glimpse Inside

By Chuka McCoy

We want companionship

Someone we can hang out with

We also want loyalty too

Someone to get our back so we don’t feel all alone

Believe it or not

Loneliness is one of the biggest things a guy struggles with

We put out the male bravado

But we want someone that will always be there for us

Makes us feel more alive than what we are

To energize us

Be the missing puzzle piece to complete the picture

To be cool with our silliness

To have a someone enter our comfort zone

That likes to visit there often with us

To be vulnerable with someone

Because we’ve been raised not to be

Someone to have the code for our hearts

To feel safe that it always will be protected.
