WHY???

“I cant understand you…”
Thought my parents
When I had my own views
To lead my life in my way

“Why don’t they understand me?”
I thought my self
When my parents didn’t agree
With my dreams for my life

When I fought with my little sister
For something very silly
My parents yelled at me saying
“Act as a grown up. You are not a child”

When I told a feeling about a topic
Or some opinion about a discussion
The same parents told me
“You don’t know. You are a child.”

As a pebble can create ripples
In that still water
These words created a disturbance asking
“Am I a child or had I grown up?”

I feel I know myself
My feelings, my thoughts
All are for my own life
For which only I am responsible

I love to live myself
With my dreams, with my hopes
To make them come true
But WHY DON’T THEY LET ME DO???
