Too young to know

Too young to understand "adult problems"

Too young to work

Too young to drive

You're not old enough

You're too little

I am not a child!

How would you know anything

You're never around

I choose my own path

I divide my importance

Who are you to me

Mother?

I think not

You carried me--

Fed me--

Clothed, bathed--

"cherished" me

that didn't prove true at age 5

you compared me to them

I was never good enough

my life is worth disgrace

you never expected me

never wanted me

You Never Saw Me For Who I Really Am
