It’s ok
Baggy gangster shirts
With broken little boys hiding in the fabric
Little lost souls
Broken and hiding in the havoc
Of messy rooms
Of dropping grades
Teen boys are always this way
Because not once did anyone stop and say
It’s ok to cry.
It’s ok to cry.
Empty beer bottles
Desperately pressed to their lips
Because not once did anyone stop and say
Don’t bottle up your emotions.
It’s ok to vent.
Blatant disrespect
For authority and minority
Because not once did anyone stop and say
Love is unconditional.
It’s ok, it’s ok.

I love this.
If you listen closely enough to a man lost in a fit of rage, I swear you can hear the little boy inside talking to whoever hurt him and made him that way. It's heartbreaking...
