Two months and 20,000+ views later, TEARS has never been more important to my life, my progression as a man and a father, and as a music artist. So importantly put - it speaks to a world where generationally we are being told to suppress our emotions, ignore our anger, disregard our pain, and silencing the speaking of our own truth while taking the punches of life and told to move on, that we will get our peace, our praise, and our flowers when we are being buried in a pine box in the dirt. And society, has helped to cultivate an existence where especially as men, our feelings, our emotions, and our tears have no place to be on display or accepted. More than 800,000 people commit suicide every year, with over 650,000 of those being men. There are 150,000,000 homeless in the world, with over 120,000,000 being men. Over 11,000,000 men incarcerated in the prison system, well over 90% of the global prison population. Over 70% of fathers in divorced or split homes with a child or children don't have custody of their children, and or don't get to participate in their children's lives. All of this means that this cycle will only continue, and only continue to get worse for future generations. Our sons. Our brothers. Our nephews and uncles and cousins and grandsons.... The issue will continue until there is nothing left if we let that cycle continue. It starts with allowing yourself to feel. It starts with looking at these cycles and finding what works for you to break the cycle. It starts with feeling safe being able to speak about OUR traumas and our pains and our hurt and do so with human equality and a sense of compassion. It's about lifting each others up - especially each other in our male communities. Including holding each other accountable, helping raise another man up, helping to show another man a better way, or simply helping a man feel valued beyond the support or protection he may provide. It starts with letting go and finding ways to let go of things that are holding us back, entrapping us from mental and emotional freedom. It's about cultivating a relationship with ourselves, with our brothers and sons and fathers and friends, and about putting a renewed focus on our relationship with God and doing so daily, and living and leading with love. Those tears do not make you weak. It just means you can feel. And if you can feel, then you can heal, and if you can heal, you can reconnect with love. And when you can love, you can find the light in some of the darkest situations and be a light to others that helps inspire and change other hearts. You Matter. You're Loved. Don't Give Up. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #mensmentalhealth #MensMentalHealthMattersToo #suicideawareness #healing #suicideprevention #therapy #tears
The woman who i thought was the love of my life left me a few days ago ive cried myself to sleep every night since i work where we met and everyday a different person asks how she is and i tell them its like reliving the break up over and over im a kitchen manager and went out of state with my ex prior to the break up after when i got back and she broke up with me a food rep showed up and was happy to see me she hugged me and asked me how i was i told her i was good and everything was going great after we talked i went to the restroom and cried she's the only person to have hugged me since my ex i feel so weak and so broken and tired im tired of pretending that everythings ok but i have no other choice running and music are the only things that get me through the day
I'm terribly sorry about the breakup. I've gone through painful splits before that felt like I was reliving them over and over. In those times, it's so important to remember that you had a life before this person and you have a life after this person. The grief is okay and human. Feel all that you need to feel but don't stay there. So much of our pain and grief in something ending is that we often create a future (especially in a relationship) and we attach ourselves to that expectation and outcome, and when it doesn't happen, we grieve the loss of the here and now and the loss of all the future we contemplated or imagined or planned. Try to stay rooted in the present, looking on what was with gratitude for the experience and that the connection you did share mattered while it was there. Start pouring love and attention into yourself right now and falling in love with the process of healing and growing and embracing this journey. The heartache does subside and you can and will find peace and happiness and joy in this life once you've been able to process and heal from this. If you are ever in need of any immediate help, please reach out to friend or family or the information on this video or at the end of the video. You aren't alone in this. You matter and you're loved. Let whatever you are feeling flow freely and know that life has so much more in store for you.
Same except skateboard not running but I guess I'm half ass runnin when I push lol. Anyways, shit sucks n hurt people hurt people but loved people love people. You'll have really fuckin dark times and I know you know all this but jus know I believe in us and I'm proud you've made it this far
I've been there bro, been struggling for 7 years now. But my son is my light, I've been single this whole time but it didn't matter. I've made myself better to be a better dad
@@djrza7 and that is how we break generational curses and cycles. That's how we need to be as man - better ourselves so that we can be better for others. So that we can show our children and teach our children a better way forward
Its like u spoke to me in this song. Never heard your music but im glad i came across it. Im giving my life to christ from here on out. Im done with the bullshit. I want love and light in my life. The lord jesus christ is my savior and i know in my heart he died for my sins. I turned my back on him with my wicked ways and i now surrender my life and my soul back to my lord and savior jesus christ. Amen lord i love you. I know you love me lord. ❤ god bless you all. God bless the world. God bless the mothers and fathers who have lost their children. God bless everyone who has lost someone close to them.
I'm grateful that you find yourself connecting to this song. I think we all need to hear its ok to be human and be imperfect and be a mess even, and still be loveable and redeemable by grace, and love - without guilt and shame and judgment!
Wow. Mikey. I'm so proud of you Cuz. You are doing something amazing. I had no idea what a writer you've become!! You words will save a lot of people. Sending you my applause and love
It's already saved some - myself included - so in that way, it has already served a purpose in a beautiful way! Praying it reaches more and helps connect to more. Thank you Lana
Rail cars and scrapers, cars go across the steel rails Many miles long, they run through towns blowing their horns In the midst of causing hype, the world gives and takes It's all about money, how people made their way Slinging dope, cars, and others to get involved It's all about "I done this or that", made to be spent Manufactured in a casket for some poor soul In the midst of causing hype, the world gives and takes But in the end, it's all just a game And all we can do is try to navigate through the chaos and survive.
❤ Love this!! This song hits deep! I can absolutely relate due to always needing to be the tough one. I've come to realize just like rain washes away the dust, crying cleanses the soul and frees the pent up emotions, which allow me to think clearer. Thank you for this song that serves as a reminder, that it's ok to be human and have emotions. You, dear sir, are amazing!!
Tears can truly release and heal so much by just allowing ourselves to feel it and let it flow. Thank you so much for your words and that this song connected with you. It can be so hard being the strong one but remember you are human and you can still be the strong one and show those emotions and feel those emotions. Thank you!!
Wow! Thank you for sharing your pain to heal others. I read what prompted you to write the song in 2023, and I like seeing a person step away from the lies we are told constantly, like "don't cry," so healing can begin. I have been sober for 11 years, thank God, and one of the things I had to learn to do was walk through fear ... any fear that causes me to be less than I was created to be. One of the best lessons I have learned is that I no longer have to protect an image, especially a false image or expectation that someone else has set up for me! I am now free to cry and walk through fear, as well as laugh and love! There's power in freedom! I pray this song meets your personal goals for writing it and sharing it with others. God bless you!
Definitely relatable in a big way it's ok not to be ok.mens mental health is such an important issue that many of us go through silently with no support 😞🥺
I feel every words of this, and you are so right. I hope and pray these reaches millions of eyes and ears and that we can together help change that. Too many men suffer in silence and too many of us struggle with our own emotions or even feeling safe to express them, and as we know especially as men, it only makes life harder and puts more and more pressure on us while bottling up everything inside us. It's okay to hurt, to feel, to cry, and to not be okay!
Wow, 2K views and hearing from some of you of what this song and video means to you and how much it's helped... just wow. I'm so thankful. So So thankful. I will keep writing and singing or rapping or speaking from the heart with the hopes that it connects with even one person in a way that helps them feel seen, heard, and understood...to help them not feel so alone..to maybe help them smile or avoid some pitfalls or heal from pain that was already there. To maybe bring just a bit more love into this world.. a stone thrown in the ocean, hoping to create ripples and rip-tides of change one day. I pray this. I will keep going because I believe this message and this music matters. Thank you all so much, from me and my family. We are grateful for this journey with you!
I've been searching for an answer from up above Do you ever wish to be someone else? Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy On this planet with just one moon by my side I push myself every day, failures on my tail Struggling to believe, can't seem to prevail I've had so many chances, I need to know Where my life is headed, it's time to grow Sometimes we vanish in a sea of faces Sometimes we fade into the dark spaces Sometimes we find a guiding hand Other times we face fire and sand But I believe in a brighter tomorrow I'll find my way through joy and sorrow I'll keep pushing forward, can't you see? In the end, I'll be the best version of me.. I've been searching for an answer from above
That is such a beautiful thing to say. I feel absolutely humbled and honored that this is connecting with you and helping in any way possible. There is no better honor or gift in music than healing.
I appreciate the love!! Aye, we just getting started over here, only been out a couple weeks but wow I'm so so damn grateful at 5.5K right now. But I dream as big as my God is, so I'm manifesting millions and millions of views/listens and millions of people helped and connecting with it, all in God's time! I'm so grateful for every single view or listen, and hearing how it's helped, it could have been 1 view and that 1 viewer or listener telling me it helped them - it would all be worth it!!

Rail cars and scrapers, cars go across the steel rails
Many miles long, they run through towns blowing their horns
In the midst of causing hype, the world gives and takes
It's all about money, how people made their way
Slinging dope, cars, and others to get involved
It's all about "I done this or that", made to be spent
Manufactured in a casket for some poor soul
In the midst of causing hype, the world gives and takes
But in the end, it's all just a game
And all we can do is try to navigate through the chaos and survive.
Thanks for this song.
thank you, for listening to this song
RIP Stephen. While you serve your time may you face the 2 murders you facilitated. Find peace son .

I've been searching for an answer from up above
Do you ever wish to be someone else?
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
On this planet with just one moon by my side
I push myself every day, failures on my tail
Struggling to believe, can't seem to prevail
I've had so many chances, I need to know
Where my life is headed, it's time to grow
Sometimes we vanish in a sea of faces
Sometimes we fade into the dark spaces
Sometimes we find a guiding hand
Other times we face fire and sand
But I believe in a brighter tomorrow
I'll find my way through joy and sorrow
I'll keep pushing forward, can't you see?
In the end, I'll be the best version of me..
