Must I listen to you?
Yes, I know
the advice
You give me
Helps me.
Yet,
I'm going
To have to think
For myself
One day.
Must you always take care of me?
Yes, I know
That I'm small and naïve
And I need to be taught.
But,
Eventually I'm
Going to have to
Learn new things
Without you.
Must you always protect me?
Yes, I know
That I always
Act before I think.
But,
I'm going to have to
Face the real world
Alone.
I know,
That I'm still growing.
But,
Just pause
And think.
If you kept
Treating me
As a child;
How am I
Ever going
To be a adult?
Notice how parents always treat teenagers as children yet expect us to act as adults? Review if like.
