Teenage Angst
If you tend to be secretive and crave a private zone,
yearn to denounce your family and set out on your own,
at first they’ll cling like mistletoe, refuse to set you free.
You’ll think they’re never going to simply let you be.
But time will set you free. You’ll see your family disappear,
and that is when I’m fairly sure, you’ll wish that they were here.
Prompt words today are family, denounce, secretive and mistletoe.

So very, very true. This should be on a poster in every junior high and high school classroom.

They wouldn’t read it and if they did wouldn’t heed it, alas.

But if even a few did, it would be worth it. 🙂

And the teachers and parents would enjoy it. They could bob their heads in agreement.

It’s terribly true. Just about when you are ready to appreciate them, they are gone.

I guess you have to be older to really appreciate this. I am.. so I do..

Thank you very much. Guess most of us know it by experience. Mine wasn’t a sense of anger–just a sense of intense embarrassment over the actions of my parents! My dad knew it and acted up on purpose.
