To be an adult
Recognize your behavior
Has consequences
You want to do what?
No! Wait till you are older
Don’t argue with me
The state says I can
But you won’t give me the keys
Why don’t you see me?
I’m bigger than you
I am stronger than you are
Why do you scare me?
Recalling my teens
When I knew everything
I was in for a shock
Now as a senior
After proving my value
I envy the child
Not in the workforce
Trying hard to contribute
My job had been me
Hey listen to me
Although we don’t look alike
Stop staring through me
You think you know me
All you see is a youngster
Give me some respect
You say that you hear
But indignities are caused
When you don’t listen
