boys are supposed to have backbones


words are supposed to have meaning.
kisses are supposed to be soft.
love is supposed to be infinite,
and bones are supposed to be tough.

faith is supposed to slash fear out.
clouds are supposed to mean rain.
planes are meant to begin things.
pills are supposed to dull pain.

flowers are made to cure sadness,
people are supposed to move on.
water is meant to kill fire,
but fire is supposed to burn long.

cameras are meant to steal moments.
confidence is supposed to fire shame,
but boys are supposed to have backbones
and some would just rather play games.
