Dear God
I grew up today
It was hard
But I did it anyway
I didn't want to
But I did it just the same
I had to grow up
Because of someone who wasn't sane
He threatened to kill me
He put a gun against my head
He told me not to scream
Or I would be dead
My brother came running
He was screaming my name
He was only nine
But the man shot him just the same
I grew up then, God
I stopped having fun
I punched the man
Then shot him with his gun
Forgive me, God
I didn't want to kill
I grew up today
But my brother never will
