Jem A. Finch

Just because I'm young

It doesn't mean that I'm oblivious

Doesn't mean I'm naïve

Doesn't mean I'm completely stubborn

Youths grow up and innocents are shattered.

Just because I'm fair

It doesn't mean I don't fight

Doesn't mean I see the light in every situation

Doesn't mean I'm always right

Justice comes at a price.

Just because I'm a boy

It doesn't mean I can protect everybody

Doesn't mean I don't cry

Doesn't mean I can do everything alone

But I wonder when will I become a man.
