To be a Man. By Cesar Reyes

To be a man

To be a man is to not have to depend on others for your own achievements

And be able to except a helping hand

To have self confidence, but not be arrogant

And to know the difference between the two

To ignore inner turmoil, grasp inner peace

And always strive for over all tranquility

To never fear love, but not confuse it with lust

And know that the two are as different as tears and rain

To have faith but not be ruled by farfetched dreams

And know when your being guided and when your being misled

To brush off insults, but also never make yourself an easy target for them

And be strong enough to never allow words to cut though you

To have pride , but admit when your wrong

And be able to live with and learn from your mistakes

To die for your honor , but no be afraid to be a bigger man

And know when its ok to just walk away

To know your boundaries, but know when you must cross them

And be aware of the consequences for your crossing them

To strive to be happy, but never allow happiness to distract you from the problems at hand

And know that a true man can never live worry free

To be able to swim through the vast mud’s of peer pressure

And be able to walk out without a stain

To have the strength to fight for what you believe in, and give beyond 100%


And know in your heart that as long as you do that you can never really fail.
