no longer a boy...

by Antwan Fields - Aries

does anyone ever have a problem
that never seems solvable?
im seventeen
not a boy
but not a man
i don't understand this
but neither do most of you
and what's worse is 
ill never figure it out
ill stand in broad daylight
on the top of hill's hill
ill look out toward freedom
but that ball and chain will always be there
how old are you, sonny?
seventeen, officer
only seventeen 
you shouldn't be driving 
or drinking 
and there is no end in sight
to the siege that is seventeen
