A Boy must never cry
A Boy should not be shy
That is what the world implies
But why o why?
A Boy must be strong
He cannot be scared
Emotions are not to be shared
But why o why
A Boy can be shy
A Boy can horrify
He can be rough and tough
But Isn’t that enough
Tell me why o why?
A Boy can play dress up
He can do still do push-ups
A Boy can like pink or blue
Because Colors don’t define you
Then why o why?
A Boy can play with dolls
And say NO to cars
A Boy can be lean and weak
Politely he can speak
That is just his mystique
Then why o why?
A Boy can eat less
And not make a mess
He may not like to run
But has his own definition of fun
He loves to draw and paint
This doesn’t make him quaint
Then why o why?
Boy’s biceps are for show and
legs are to hide
To these silly’s rules
he doesn’t Have to abide
The World feels,
to rule,
it has to divide
But why o why
A Boy you be a boy
You are no more a Troy
No set rules to follow
No feelings you have to swallow
There are no set principles
Life is a miracle
Don’t live to be the typical
That is WHY!
