poem_010_Parents_Think_They_Know_Everything
All to often parents think they know there kid
Not really knowing the secrets they’ve hid
It’s sad that the “all knowing parents” no so little of their spawn
They might not even know their child’s secrets when they are gone
Each child holds that certain secret they use to rebel
Holding it close and they’ll never tell
Parents try so hard to keep their child from suffering and hurting
They try to make their child happy with diverting
To some extent the concealment of the world from the child is inevitable
But the time will come when the child needs to be given some trouble
The parents must unsheathe the dark side of the world
And give the child a chance to unfurled
Some parents don’t understand this important factor in life
Resulting in a child’s hidden secret and often leading to strife
This is were the term “rebellious teens” was coined from
This is why suicide is thought of from their succumb
The parents think their child doesn’t have much to worry about or much stress
Until the child does something or experiences something and makes their life a mess
Communication, being open, and not putting down a child
Could help a teen be more beguiled
Parents shouldn’t disagree with every little thing a kid has to say
It causes the teen years and even the future to be in such a fray
Parents think they know what their child’s true identity
And for all they know the child could be full of obscenity
It’s hard to open up to a parent when you know there are certain things they wouldn’t like of your characteristic
It could be a characteristic in a highly sexual manner and the parent would think the child sadistic
No child wants to be thought of this way, but can’t help who they are
This feeling leads to actions that are sometimes bizarre
Lots of times a parent doesn’t understand their child or really know the true them
And the child is then living in a life of condemn
Parents think they know everything to know
Yet they only know from what their kids show
