whos lying


a boy

is lying.

he tells them

he is a girl

and they say

he is.

 

a boy

is sighing.

he tells them

he is a boy

and they say

he isn’t.

 

a boy

is crying.

he tells them

he is a boy

and they say

get out.

 

a boy

is dying.

they would rather

have a dead

daughter than a

happy son.
