you said you weren’t like him. but you move just like him.

You say you want to be a good man. You say you're different. But have you ever asked who taught you to love? Because most of you learned love through survival.

You watched men cheat and your mom stay. You watched uncles drink and women fold. You learned power was silence, affection was earned, and feelings were threats. You want to be the man that your father wasn't, but you've never questioned what he passed down into your bones.

So no, this isn't just about you. It's about the version of manhood that you inherited and whether you're man enough to unlearn it. These men ain't. But the worst part, some of you don't even realize you're becoming the man you swore you'd never be.
