This is a letter to all of the boys.
Please, take the time
To read this.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay
to not be okay.

I just want to tell you that
you don't have to be the one
who is always so strong.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay if you tell a girl
exactly how you feel.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay if you
need to cry.

I just want to tell you that
it is okay to need a shoulder
and not be the shoulder.

I just want to tell you that
being a man can come
in thousands of shapes and sizes.

I just want to tell you that
you don't have to live by society's
definitions of being a man.

Be who you are.

Let down your guard.

Realize you don't always have to be strong.

I love you.

Love, me.
Boys, not everything lies on your shoulders.
