Parenting in a Nutshell

I'm not a parent, not even close, so I can't say this is from my personal experience. But from the many fights and arguments I've had with my parents as a teen, I can now look back and see how they struggled with my "angsty" years. This new year I'll be entering my 20's as my sister begins her teen years. It's going to be another 7 years of teen angst for my parents with constant "why's" and passive aggressive non-violent protests of various rules.
So here's a poem to all parents, guardians, older siblings and friends. The madness will end...eventually!

We try not to care 

But doing so is hard,

It tugs at your strings,

They belong in your heart.

It's hard to be patient,

Even harder to let go

It'd be so much easier

If we could just ignore.

For it makes us mad,

So livid with rage

When we cannot help

And we cannot save.

Why won't you listen!

Why won't you do,

What I think

Is right for you?

We scream and rant

And yell and fight,

But nothing seems

To turn out right.

Exhausted and tired

We know not what to do,

But despite everything,

We still care about you.
