"Scholar"
Back home
where i grew up
I was pushed
to do my best
in school mostly
but also respect
i did
what i was told
until i could
no longer
i was
no longer
a student
or a child
i was in between
high school
graduate
and
college
freshmen
parents,
who have
sheltered me,
freaked out
they pushed
me to grow up
in a very
short time
i was a scholar
back home
now i'm a "scholar"
in college
in letters
and phone calls
parents think
i'm still
a scholar
up here
in college
i know
i'm a "scholar"
scholar back home was just too easy
"scholar" up here is way to hard
scholar
"scholar"
