Parents

i know more than they think i do
and i dont need their advice
if only my parents would listen
and just leave me alone for a second
    or a day or a week

they are busy doing adult things
like paying the bills and doing my laundry
buying my food and telling me i have to shower
like no shit i know i need to
    i just dont want to

i know they care about me
and want to spend time with me
but they are weird and old and besides
there will be time tomorrow
    life is long and mine just started

i hope they are still alive when im ready
