As men we often fail to put ourselves in others shoes. Some people can't overcome pain and sorrow by themselves. They need a shoulder to cry on; a sympathetic ear; a hand of friendship and support. Should we be those support structures in their lives then sure we can make a difference.

You've captured so many people's experiences and pain in this poem. It's so filled with truth and emotion that it made me think of the above statement. Good writing. kudos.
