Growing up
I don't socialize well.
Probably never have.
Probably never will.
No one will ever know the real me.
I'm far too grown up for my age.
Matured to the max,
I can never relax.
I'm a freak raised on center stage.
On the other hand, I'm intelligent.
I'm sensitive, responsible, never in a fight.
Raised to be a perfect gent.
Sadly enough, that's my plight.
Kids don't usually relate to polite.
For them its mostly all cuss words and sex.
They think I prance around like a knight.
What they don't know is my hex.
I don't know what I've ever done
To anyone I've ever known
That's been insensitive, inappropriate, or dumb,
But maybe my guardian angel has flown.
On the other hand, I'm the man I am.
If I wasn't raised like I have been,
Then that would never have been.
All in all, I thank God I am who I am.
