"Just shrug it off," "Become a man."
That's what they all tell me,
But they don't understand.
"Do well in school," "Get good grades too."
Easy for them to say,
They never felt my gloom.
The world's full of authority,
And yes you should respect it.
But there's more than obeying,
Problems too, prepare to expect it.
I know their older,
And probably wiser.
But what if they're not,
What if they never lit their fire?
