Boys do not cry,
Girls, not meant for rough play,
At birth our wings clipped,
to conform to society's way.

Well penned . Deep in expression and meaning. Blessings, Lavender Butterfly.

I liked this, however, I'm not sure it really goes with the pictures. The picture showed a toddler, not a baby just being born.
I dont really agree with the words either. If you let socieity rule the way you raise your kids, they will be like every other child who's held back by lame rules.
just my opinion. good luck in the contest poet.
