Child

By TidesAndDreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You call yourself a man That's something I can't understand I see you only as a boy Still searching for childhood toys Never knowing when you've found a gift That's something you'll be sure to miss This isn't a game of tic-tac-toe Or just searching for an easy hoe You're not ready to be adult You just see everyone's faults But you are the one with the problem You could be a beautiful rose, but right now you are just a thorny stem You are afraid to grow up Not seeing the wine in the cup Stop being a child Get rid of all that's wild You need to try to become a man Stop playing in the childhood sand Written April 6th, 2002 © on Apr 06 2002 07:36 AM PST   0 • 10
