Mumma,
I still stay up
You don't scold me though.
Dadda,
My knees still scrape
But you don't pick me up.

Mumma,
Boys still annoy me
I miss your advice;
of letting go
of never letting them too close.
Dadda,
I'm still not tall enough,brave enough
You don't carry me anymore,
Don't push me to the edge.

Mumma,
I still suck at cooking
You don't laugh at me anymore,
Don't cook me quick toasts.
Dadda,
I still can't fall asleep easy
You don't take me for midnight ice creams though.

Mumma,
I don't sleep in the room beside you.
Dadda,
I'm not scared of ghosts anymore.

But mumma,
I can't sleep this far away from you.
Dadda,
I can't escape the monsters in me.
