Own Two Feet

by Sean Dohr   Apr 14, 2006


Trying to stand on your own two feet,
is a difficult task that we all must complete.
To be living at home, when you don't have to be,
is the worst of tortures, I'm sure you'd agree.

I would hate to be under someone else's rules,
that's why when your younger, you must build all the tools.
To use when you're older, to live life on your own,
you should follow the path, that you've always been shown.

Imagine dealing with parents for more than 18 years,
just that terrible thought, brings me to tears.
I would hate to be locked up again in that cage,
I have to live my own life when I come of age.

Nobody to yell or tell you what to do.
Nobody to ground you right out of the blue.
Nobody allowed to push you around.
Let's all be honest, how good does that sound?

All you have to do is follow three simple rules,
don't drink, do drugs, or make fun to amuse.
As long as you have respect for others and you,
you will live life on your own, as most others do.

    It was well written except taht most people don't have a choice but to move back home. A good friend one mine had to until he could get everything in his life back in order. You're word choice was there I just dodn't feel it was your strongest poem.
