A poem from different viewpoints in life of other ages |
See here you, elderly folk You are so old and have seen so much You still think your day was better Although your years are more than mine And your experiences far greater in number Times are different and so are we You do not know my life See here you, middle aged You always direct and never ask You drone on about things we do not care But there you stand in the way Thinking you know best We are young we make mistakes You do not know my life See here you, swinging 20-odd You have the world in your palms You take the world for granted Seeing everyone else as lesser Yet expect us to not understand It is though you want all others to fall away You do not know my life See here you, hormonal teen You think you are the only ones You think we are embarrassing The ones who are embarrassing are you For we have all been there You can strop all you like You do not know my life See here you, small child You watch with those wondered eyes You are not faultless yourself you see Tantrums and strops are plentiful There is so much more to life for you Just be patient child and do not judge You do not know my life See here you, You know not what is in my heart You know not of what my dreams are In this world we are all different Each of us must grow in time and falter Although we walk Terra together You do not know my life |
