BOYS DONT CRY
why are they always asked to be though?
and not cry when they feel low?
the world will laugh they say.
and that's why they are asked to not show.
they never express how they really feel
but trust me even boys weep alone at night.
tears are not gender-specific,
even he needs his space to feel light.
not just me and you,
but every human has their own thing.
boys are emotionless,
is what this world thinks.
it's just he’s good at hiding his pain
but that doesn’t mean his heart doesn’t ache.
even boys shatter, even boys suffer
even boys cry when they break.
when he is asked to take all the load
why is he not allowed to even weep?
why do we ignore him when he expresses?
when he’s the one sacrificing his sleep.
don’t ignore them be their shoulder when they need.
yes, boys do cry when they broke apart.
they are human after all.
and every human has a heart.
