Just because I no longer
look like you
dress like you
scribe like you
read like you
Just because
you’re younger than me
faster than me
sometimes
even wiser than me
It does not prove
you’re more worthy than me
I too , am
able to love
able to hate
able to forgive
in a good faith
Can you ?
I can whisper
I can weep
I can cry
I can scream
I can laugh
at the same time
I can see a pure love
in child’s smile
warm sun in the sky
flowers in bloom
white clouds
crescent moon
But for now ,this is all
I wish to say
before I go off
to sleep again
If you can wait till the morn
I promise to tell you
a whole lot more
When daylight arrives
please remember
as life is valued at any age
Try to contain
your teenage rage
