trust. mistrust.

i've never done anything bad.

well i've lied. and stole.

but not things of huge importance.

never committed a crime.

i've never drank a drop of alcohol.

can't ever anyways.

never smoked. that's just gross.

drugs are stupid. they use up all your money.

i'm not going to have sex before marriage.

i made a vow and i'm not going to break it.

so why is it so hard for you to trust me? i've never done anything to make you unwilling to let me be. why can't you let go? i am 18. i am my own person. i'm not going to make the same mistakes that you did. i'm not YOU.

don't you get it? i am ME. i don't want to be you.

why can't you just let me do as i please? i am not going to do anything stupid. this is my life. i don't want to fuck it up. i want to be someone and do something great. and i will. but not with you hovering and controlling my every move.

you obviously have control issues. and i'm tired of you telling me what to do. i love you but i can't wait to get the hell out of the house.

thank god for college
