Dear Mum and Dad

Dear Mum and Dad

I know we’ve upset you before

And I know you’ve been our age before, but it seems you’ve forgotten so lemme give you a tour

Times change

Things aren’t what they used to be

I know that’s how you used to see

I know the things we do may seem strange

But you gotta get used to it now

We are young and wild

Deep in your hearts I know you too are still a child

Remember the good from your childhood years?

The stuff you’d do with or without your peers

What I’m asking is give us a chance to have fun too

Give us a chance to let loose!

Dear Mum and Dad

You need to realise your children are sad

Give us a chance to live life

Let us go out with the wildlife!

If we say we don’t want you to do something

Don’t do it!

Letting us out more to have fun will stop most of the judging

I don’t want you to ride my skateboard

It’s my property

I’m so thankful for your generosity

I’m sorry if I haven’t acted like I’m thankful

Sorry I’ve taken everything for granted

Look at this from our angle

We’ve never had the poorer side so we don’t pay attention to our advantage

All we ask is your respect

We don’t need to be triple checked

Respect our choices

Respect our wanderlust

Trust us to not yet pick our poisons

Trust us to not fall into dust

Sincerely, your children
