he's just a boy
"He's a boy, boys don't cry"
Here's what I say -
latent as his heart might be,
it beats in a rythm
just like you and me.
Yet why shall thou forbid
his tears; for even God Himself
grants him the privilege
to let out
the words that enrage.
His eyes behold the same ache
that your soul acquires;
yet up in the night sky he stares,
impending tears desisted
by echoes of your senseless critics.
Burying that pain deep within
would only fuel his fire
making him more fragile
and not the strong you desire.
So if you shall await
his long-unseen joy
let him drown in the solace of
"you're just a boy"
