To Shaheer

Seeing you growing up, I am noticing

You can be so full of expressions

sadness, anger, happiness, excitement, playfullness

You express them all

multiple times throughout the day

But seeing you growing up, I am also noticing

How one day you will no longer be

so diversely expressive

You will be dull and violent

Because you have to be a boy, man

Which means you have to be dull and violent

like your father

I am noticing the present you and fearing the future you

May I be proven wrong.
