He looked me in the eyes and told me that he was ready for me
Except something in me said that I wasn't ready for him
Don't get me wrong he seemed thrilling and new
But I knew at this moment and age that his chances were slim
It's just, the commitment and all the demands he requested
His possessive nature I've never experienced before
How am I supposed to conform my young life and do something that he wants
And let go of all the things that my soul adored
He should be embracing me in a way that I feel comfort
I should be able to be myself with him
But yet I have to dress a certain type of way
And yet I have to watch what I say
To successfully live my life with him
That's just the way it's going to be
I have to tell myself
Whether or not I can offer more by being myself in this world
That's what he demands and that's what he is used to
All traditions and dullness nothing creative or new
So here I am, being the best student I can be
He demands the things that most cannot see
Hopefully one day, with his help, my intelligence and charm will hold together like a suture
And I'll be successful with him
Living happily on my own
Cause who I'm talking about yal is not my man
But my future

This format was lowkey inspired by Common in one of his songs. But I was just thinking about the school system while writing this. Just something kinda silly lol.
