Friends
I’m not mature??Who ever said I was mature?
Twenty years old being told everyday that I’m not perfect
I’m not pigeonholed so leave me out of your doubt that I know who I am
Know that I'm not perfect and I don't need a daily reminder.
You're not funny and I'm not amused.
Let me work on me
It’s been a long road
my whole life I’ve been left out in the cold
mocked and pushed
I’ll strain to be the man I am
but ?I don’t need your reminder
I don’t need your constant belittlement
I’m not a child but I know I’m not yet a true man
I’ll find my way
I’ll be the man I want to become
Your constant deprecation doesn’t bring to light any realization,
prophecy, or new nirvana to my life
be the friends you say you are
Because I don’t need a daily reminder that I’m not at my destination yet
I already know I’m miles from where I started
