The Parent Trap

Mommy Daddy why must you do this to me?

All I want to do is get in the trouble that I can see.

I don't understand the rules of your game,

Maybe I am just too little to know the name.

Mommy Daddy your rules are too strict,

Because in my head they conflict.

I just want to carry on,

And before you can find out I'll be gone.

Mommy Daddy, all I want to do is make a mess,

And do as my little brain suggests.

You are trying to do right by me,

But this fact I am too young to see.

I don't want to be confined,

To what your rules have in mind.

I want to run and roam free,

And be as silly as I can be.

Mommy Daddy, I am sorry to be so bad,

For the freedom I want I never had.

Maybe one day when I am more grown,

I will understand the seeds you have sown.

Mommy Daddy I just want to play,

To do things my way.

I want to yell and scream,

At the fun things see my eyes gleam.

Mommy Daddy, I just want to be me,

And see the world for what I can see.
