Daniel from (Still) Eighteen by Astro Alloy

never once betrayed by an authority you trust
a moral code with room for greed that fits just like a glove
the stories culture wrote for you, the world as it appears to you

you're insecure in simple things, the ones people expect
in classrooms you just dream of girls and cis vanilla sex
everything feels possible when nothing's been impossible

you've never felt scared
to be yourself
raised in wealth
safe and sound
never vulnerable

tell someone your secrets and they'll only like you more
they'll thirst for the attention that they didn't want before
flowers open up to you as easy as you want them to

so bear your healthy heart and know this risk will have reward
sly enough to earn her trust and leave her wanting more
confident in what you'll say without an ounce of irony

you've never felt scared
to be yourself
raised in wealth
safe and sound
never vulnerable
