Poem To My Teenager

For my Teenager

 

There’s no need to fight

About mundane things

That we will laugh about

In years to come

You are not a waste of time

Though arguing with you is futile

I have accepted that you’ve grown up

And you can protect yourself

You have the right to choose your path

And live the life you dreamed about

Instead of unleashing my fear at every turn

I will tell you I like what you become

I wish the negativity between us gone

And so we can start having fun

I need your help to make it happen

Please lend me a hand.
