The Eternal Teenager

this is a free flow - just getting out what needs to be said.

Always saying you are self sufficient; you take care of yourself

You have set your care for others upon a shelf.

Gratitude is never forth comming

According to you no one ever helps you

But look at what you do

I opened my home and let you stay

Half the time I wonder if I will get any help with the higher bills

and I wonder is how you repay

Kindness given freely

returned with stress and worry.

You buy things that you don't NEED

Then poorness and lack of money you plead

Your actions show what you truly think

That everyone should do for you

Perhaps this philosophy you should rethink

For your gripe and complain when others ask something of you.

Foul moods and slamming doors

you let all hear and see your dischord

The little things is what you allow to enflame

yet when anger is warranted you are rather tame

You never seem to think about survival

instead you choose to battle over baubles

While at times there is reason for your misguided anger

I must ask why at your age do you still act like a teenager?

Author's Note

Honestly this is just a releasing of stress that I have been dealing with for a while in the form of my uncle as a roommate. I am too polite to say it to him though it probably needs to be said but still I just can't bring myself to say these things- I think it has something to do with respecting my elders. Anyway thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my bitch.

I for sure spend more than I can afford, it's been catching up to me. Nice way to get across your feelings. I've had some not so perfect roommates in my day...
