Boi
Cut my hair,
But leave my bangs there
Now they stare
Like their aware
That it used to be down to my waist
But now my bangs cover my face
And it feels like they can see through them
So I’m masking again
Boi
Shorts with pockets
Filled with toads and rocks
Change how I walk
Dig deep when I talk
Achievement unlocked
But sometimes they scoff
Even though I know I’m better off
Boi
Need to be stronger
Or they’ll peg me as wronger
But I have this hunger
For freedom and wonder
Boi
Girl just never made sense
And I never felt on the fence
So why do they take such offense
Why do they cast me as less?
I carry a weight that’s immense
Boi
Not good enough
Not strong enough
Not ripped enough
Not cocky enough
Not tough enough
Not cars enough
Not sports enough
Not indifferent enough
Not privileged enough
Not demeaning enough performing locker room talk
Not measuring the size of my cock
I just want to be me, what the fuck?
Boi
Why are you crying?
Stop having feelings
Stop giving a fuck
About healing
Stop being authentic
Fit the mold
Why so insecure?
Do what you’re told
Boi
When alone
Filled with wonder and joy
Why is everyone else
So annoyed?
Bois
YOU ARE VALID
YOU ARE ENOUGH
YOU MATTER
EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT TOUGH
There’s so much you have to offer outside the roles that you’ve been told
There’s so much to be learned if we hear the stories you’ve told
I want you to know how much we need you
And how important you are
Please don’t change a single thing
You have a perfect heart
Curious why everyone keeps going through the motions?
Break Free!
I love you Abstract Daddi!
