I Am The Grown-up
December 10, 2009
***
You are the grown-up
I am the child.
I'm supposed to be stupid
And quiet
And listen to you
However
Racist
Sexist
Prejudiced
You are.
***
You're gone, Mom.
***
Now I am the grown-up
You are the child.
I love you
And encourage you to be your best
To try your hardest
To be yourself.
Be LOUD!
Be EXCITING!
Be AMAZING!
***
