And his hands were shaking…
By Valerie Maldonado

He fought for a place in the world
Searching for purpose he wandered
Looking for love he stumbled
Breaking barriers he conquered
Walking tall until he stooped
Both from work and expectations
Placed upon his soul from womb
He tried to live up to the hype
But the hype was a fabrication
So he learned and he taught
And his hands were shaking
Still he read and he sung
He wept against the wall
Gaining ground, growing stronger
He shined as his true self emerged
Like a bright gem beneath the sun
He gained a place in the world
Not the world at large in plain sight
His world, his eyes, his universe
Unleashing the worth held inside
His value is priceless and precious
Strength independent of muscle
Love unrelated to romance
Importance independent of hustle
Purpose found at the core
He swam against the tide
Finding solace at the shore
🙏🏻
For all men…you are seen and loved
