Whiskers

I was under
The impression
That a man should stand tall
Fight with every
Every fiber
When backed against the wall

But when I saw my father cry
I knew I was living a lie
Man's not meant to just survive
But to kneel in the face of danger
Call for aid when the need arise
And look his lover in the eyes
Growing up only taught me
I've got some work to do

As the whiskers
Grow from my chin
I remember age ten
Thinking a beard makes a man
So I'd stare in the mirror
Fearing I'd be a boy forever

But all my whiskers do now
Is serve as a shield
To cover up my words and doubts
I fumble over and over
I'll call for aid when the need arise
And look my lover in the eyes
Growing up only taught me
I've got some work to do

I've got some work to do
