I fell down yesterday and bruised my leg
Didn’t realize that I even hurt my neck….
Tears rolled down my eyes
I wiped it swiftly coz its not so nice….
Not nice to cry because m a boy,
Everybody laughs at my tears becoz m a boy!!
There’s a girl who sits next to me,
She gets an A in every test I see…..
Last Tuesday I saw her really upset
She was crying and being consoled by her best friend!!
I guess it was ok for her to cry
She did not have to sink her feelings inside…..
I hear everyone saying that boys are strong,
But, alone in the darkness they often sob….
I saw on TV a girl breaking bricks,
They play cricket and are also in the politics,
My mom is the strongest one I know,
Even with nothing in hand she can put up a good show!!
Then how can one say girls are weak,
When they can touch the highest peak…..
Why are boys infested with the thought of pretending to be being so bold,
They too cry, how much ever old….
I was asked ‘ why are you crying like a girl infront of all’?
I answered…. ‘ coz m just a boy, not a superhuman after all’.
