Grandpa said to me,
Walk the world like it's yours.
You've earned it.
Go on.
Grandma told me not to listen to the old coot.
She said; it's not yours, until you've earned it.
Till then, the world lays in safe hands.
Waiting for you to grow up.

Today, I recieved a call.
A man with a hoarse voice spoke in a sullen tone.
He said; Son, it is time, you've earned it.
With that, he hung up; leaving me alone with the dial tone.

Everyone tells me I've earned the right to something, but what have I really earned?
Erratic Behaviour
