Dear boychild
I want you to know that it's okay
It's okay to feel
It's okay to express feelings
It's okay to have emotions
It's okay to express emotions

I want you to know that you don't have to
You don't have to conform
To their standards
You don't have to pretend
To please society
You don't have to be mechanical
We all know you are human

I want you to know it doesn't matter
Doesn't matter what they think, just what you think
Doesn't matter what they want, just what you want
Doesn't matter what they expect, just be you
If they can't take who you are, then it's not worth it
Sounds funny that I'm championing for men.
The bar for the boy child has been set too high and people need to know that they are human
This was inspired by a comedian
