Boys Will Be Boys
Let me cover my shoulder,
try to make you feel better
for not learning control.
It doesn't affect you,
but the words
hurt me.
Why do I hide my body?
They are obsessed
unless
we talk about what's inside.
They won't listen,
but their words
hurt me.
Control yourself please.
It scares us,
but,
boys will be boys,
right?
Do you purposefully
hurt me?
Yes.
