Little boy
You are meant to be a man .
Your future decided the first time you held his hand .
Finish school ,
Work really hard ,
Provide for a family ,
Never let them starve .

But little boy, you hold a secret
The man you are to be she knows can not be ,
For In your eyes lays the pain
She sees you hesitate when he calls your name
She kept your secret and paid your price
Blue and black the punishment she sacrificed

Little boy, dont you see
Dressing in mummy's shoes is who you are meant to be
But when Daddy says no
And Mommy screams sorry
The reality of sacrifice hits your body
And on the floor you lay to sleep
Closing your eyes to the rhyme of a beat
Knowing in your heart as you pull away
Mummy will join you and forever stay .

— The End —
