Parents
Parents,
Blinded by the concern in their hearts,
unable to see whats really inside,
Unable to tell when something is hidden.
Parents,
Demanding rules we have to follow,
Demanding respect when they lack it themselves,
Demanding perfection when they're unable to give it in return.
Parents,
Treating some like icons,
Treating others like minors,
The world is unfair.
Parents,
Cutting the throat of a man named Justice,
Stabbing somone who goes by Freedom,
Killing the idea of the Pursuit of Happiness,
Parents,
A shame.
