If I ever have boys

They’ll send flowers to their mother just because

and be a shoulder for many

when the world is too much

My boys will know that vulnerability is strength

They won’t bottle anger

they’ll learn how to express

They won’t let pride be the reason they hide

wearing masks while they’re hurting inside

My boys will be dangerous men

They won’t stay silent

even when it’s uncomfortable for them

They’ll learn that their actions

are more effective than words

But they’ll use their voices

to amplify the unheard

They’ll know that love isn’t something to perform

They’ll see beauty in all of its forms

My boys won’t grow learning to emotionally hide

They’ll reshape masculinity into something they like

make it softer to touch

They’ll know that who they are is more than enough

They’ll know that being a man

doesn’t mean carrying the burden alone

They’ll learn that an emotional man

is a man fully grown

They won’t settle everything with violent swings

They’ll live in truth

even when that truth stings

So yeah if I ever have boys they’ll be dangerous men

But the danger they’ll be

won’t be the one society meant
