Perspectives, perspectives,
contradicting they are.
They see no change,
yet you've traveled far.
You feel much stronger,
they think you're weak.
You think you're confident.
they see you meek.
You're trapped in a fun house,
but there's no way out.
The mirrors mold your image,
but never see the real about.
You endure their chastising,
you'll never be good enough.
You tell them things aren't fair,
they'll tell you life's just rough.
They compliment your success,
yet don't care who you are.
You're more than ups and downs,
you are a shooting star.
They'll never know you,
and it is such a crime.
You are an outstanding soul,
but they don't take the time.
You can reach out all day,
with stories of adventure.
But don't you dare speak too long,
you'll just earn a lecture.
So go and be yourself,
there's little else to do.
And let them keep ignoring,
they're missing out on you.
Parents, they just don't get it...
Thanks,
Evan
