WHY? Just because I'm a GIRL??

A bitter conversation between a Teenage girl and her parents

By SoftSpokenStoriesPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Why can't I just go out and play?

You keep me locked inside all day.

I see my brother run and roam,

While I'm stuck here alone in this room.

You talk of danger, bad guys near,

But I can't live my life in fear.

I know you care, I know you're kind,

But can't you ease this worried mind?

Let me taste the summer air,

I'm not a bird in a gilded cage,

I want to laugh and to jump and to play,

Not just watch my childhood fade away.
