Too young
You tell me I'm too young
Too young to date
Too young to swear around
As if hearing the word fuck would trigger a panic attack
As if I don't know what the real world is like
The night I had to call the cops on my friend before she could take her own life
The day I found my father comatose near dead on his birthday
Yeah, the word fuck is so much more triggering
Being held down and sexually assaulted by someone I had come to think of as a brother, holds no candle to hearing the word fuck
My fragile virgin ears
Not yet used to such profanity
As if I'm not called a dyke on a regular basis
Sayin I'm too young to know I love a woman while in the same sentence asking me what I want to do for the rest of my life
