Maturity and Wit's End
There is an irony in these words for sure,
When I am a teenager who is known to be mature.
I have not stated that I am an adult and can do whatever I want like others,
And yet I am the one who agrees that they should listen to their teachers and their mothers.
I rooted for Tom while they rooted for Jerry.
They complain about the orders and the work, but I thought the privilege was simply merry!
They all want to be a rebel,
Yet wouldn’t that be me when I’m the only one out of trouble?
some want to smoke and drink booze.
I like my lungs and brain to be stable, so I refuse.
some look to cope with life through drugs,
I say that just causes more problems, so I cope with happiness and hugs.
Sometimes they’re rude and call me a prude.
While I don’t think name-calling is fair, in that case I don’t really care.
Now I do my duties and show respect,
And some shove off their responsibilities and expect a positive effect!
Why would you not use
what your parents taught you
To prevent you from the same mistakes they did
When they were a kid?
But instead of some enlightenment or behavioral evolution,
some still go out of their way to cause trouble and call it a revolution!
Now I’m not perfect and may not have the right to judge,
But I know I’m going in the right direction, so let these lessons give you a nudge.
This mindset can seem lonesome
at times in a hormonal sea of mutiny,
But I cannot be the only one
Who doesn’t see the point of this insurgency.
