If I Were a Boy

If I were a boy I wonder if I could cry. Every emotion would have been a burden How to live, how to die. If I were a boy I wonder if I could express myself So much would have been kept inside If I were a boy I wonder if I could give myself a break To fulfill everyone's expectations And not even a single mistake. If I were a boy I wonder if I could lie That yes I'm always fine Without a single tear in my eye. If I were a boy I wonder if I could resist 'all men are the sale What to say, what not to say Everything depended on my name. If I were boy I wonder if I could run with this much speed I would surely said everything and felt light And just just be a human indeed.

I know I don't have to be a boy to do all that. That's exactly my point our society has a terrible stereotype that boys don't cry, boys don't hurt, boys are supposed to meet everyone's expectations..... The poem is about if I were a boy I wonder if I could do all these like cry and vent....
