Masculinity is not toxic
Masculinity is not toxic
The masculine is no more toxic
Than the feminine is weak
True masculinity is not toxic
Real masculinity is not toxic
When I speak of the masculine and feminine
I speak, I speak, I speak not of gender
I speak not of men and women
Societal symbols
Stereotypes and caricatures
We are born in perfection
With a blend of both expressions
Men present whose energy is feminine-dominant
Women living more in their masculine
But masculinity is not toxic
We've not seen the masculine in its entirety
We've merely known the masculine as a mask
I've known that mask
I've worn that mask
Sometimes still find I wear that mask, I cast that mask aside
That hides my insecurities
That becomes a shield from fear
That lies inside the hollow bravado of an onion skin veneer
But masculinity is not toxic
Masculinity is not just bulging biceps, football and beer
Any more than the femininity is painted fingernails, high heels and short skirts let's be clear
Let's be clear
The masculine is logic
The feminine is intuition
The masculine is electric
The feminine been kept in prison
The feminine is magnetism
The feminine is vulnerability, vulnerability is a strength
The feminine is not weakness
The feminine is not weak
But masculinity is not toxic
The masculine, the sun
The feminine, the moon
The masculine holds space, and so the feminine full bloom
The divine feminine is restoration, is creation
Is birth, is re-birth, is life, is renewal
Is receptive, is connection, is openness
It's compassion, is insight, it's intuition
It's forgiveness
It's sensuality
But masculinity is not toxic
The toxic masculine comes from a place of wounds
