The Dam that buckles, seldom breaks

  They say that women are the more emotional of the sexes. That may be true, but the saddest folks I've ever met were men. Hidden behind stoicism is a buckling dam that refuses to break.
  Society forgets the "stronger" sex, The homeless, the fallen warriors, the veterans, the incarcerated and the emascualted. I have never seen sadness such as a broken man, children stripped away without an ally within the state.
  We chase an illusion of love that only exists in media and our minds. Is it any coincidence that the greatest works of art, the saddest songs, and most heartbreaking poetry come from the mind of such men?
  Of course women feel. Of course they have strong feelings and emotions. But speaking from the heart, as a man, can one ever truly understand the level of pain a man holds in? Many will never know what it is like to be truly alone, without ally, with unrequited love as your only friend, and creep as your only term of endearment.
