a boy who never knew his father
who’s mother feels more like a stranger more than anything
a boy who finds more solace in his friends,
than he ever could from family
a boy with a body that doesn’t feel like his own
who has no one to share his pain with because “he’s fine”
who lets everything build up until it all crashes down
because “boys don’t cry”
so y’know what
he’s alright
he’s a boy who isn’t broken
at least not yet
if anything he’s cracked
