I'm To Young Poem by Randy McClave

I'm not old enough to drink
Or to smoke or chew don't you think,
I'm not old enough to want to kill
And I am to young to see it as a thrill.
I'm born either a girl or a boy
And I'm not an object and experiment or a toy,
And I'm also to young to swear or cuss
Or with world problems I'm to young to discuss.
I'm too young to work a full time job
And I don't wanna learn to steal or rob,
I'm to young to drive a car for fun
And I'm way to young to want or to own a gun.
I am to young to judge or to hate
And I'm to young to intimidate,
I am to young to read the Bible or any book
But, at pictures I enjoy to look.
I'm too young to be a racist
To young to know or understand why I exist,
I'm also to young to be killed
Because, someone else needs to be healed.
I'm to young to wear a gown or makeup
Or to wear a push-up cup,
I'm to young to dress like a woman don't you believe
Childhood is what I want to first achieve.
I am to young to be a bully
That's a fact which I know truly,
I don't want to learn to torment either he or she
I just wanna be me.
I'm old enough just to be a child
That is how I was created and styled,
So, before I'm adult and full grown
How about, I be a child and you leave me alone?
