Doric is Corinthian

Poetry 1 Minute

I want to be respectable

I want you to think that I’m brave and strong

Even when I’m crumbling on the inside

I want you to think that I’m fair and wise

Am I a man

Can I be your friend

And still be your father

Am I ready

For you to see

Every move I make

Am I a man

I want to be the one with all the answers

And I want you to think that I’ve conquered all my fears

I strive to be absent of ambition

And I want you to know that I’ll always provide

Am I a man

Can I be your friend

And still be your father

Am I ready

For you to see

Every move I make

Am I a man

I want you to grow and be what I can’t be

And I want you to show love to all

I want you to be absent my demons

And I want you to be whoever you are

Am I a man

Can I be your friend

And still be your father

Am I ready

For you to see

Every move I make

Am I a man

Published by East Tennessee Mentorship Association

East TN Mentorship Association is a veteran owned small business in East TN that aims to provide solution focused, accessible (affordable) mental health support and mentorship to our community. Our program is NOT clinical in nature - that is, we do not diagnose or treat mental illnesses, but instead, we encourage self-growth regardless of an individual's framework while encouraging them to seek therapy as necessary outside of ETMA. We offer a safe place for ALL people to navigate their inner voices using a variety of practical and experiential tools gained through years of study and time spent in cultures around the world. Our motto is "Earn your sanctuary" - we believe each individual holds the key to solving their own cognitive dissonance, but we ALSO believe that it really helps to have an objective sounding board now and again.
