"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe


Adults say, 'kids won't understand',
and kick me out of conversations,
they'll laugh and I would just stare wondering what was funny,
because I am under aged.
My aunts and mother would not buy branded items for me,
they say I will only lose or break it,
and that I should wait till I get older,
because I am under aged.
Grown ups would go out and come home whenever they like,
while I have a 9 PM curfew,
they told me some bad guy will kidnap me,
because I am under aged.
My parents like me to stay at home all the time,
do they have any idea I was going to die of boredom?
I asked them and they said, “that's better than being kidnapped right?”
Again, I am under aged.
I ask people why I am always too young for everything,
and they tell me I should be enjoying my childhood when I still can,
they say I'm going to wish back all those times when I get old,
I want to tell them that I do enjoy my childhood,
its just that I want to try new stuff,
but I can't.
Because once again, I am underaged.


The author's comments:
My crush considers me a kid.
People keep telling me I can't do the things I want because I'm too young.
When I tell people I feel this way, they say:
"Someday when you're an adult, you will understand. you will wish back all those beautiful times when you were still young and fresh. You should be grateful that you can still enjoy your childhood now."
I do enjoy my childhood, I really do. I understand what they mean perfectly. But its not that I don't enjoy my childhood its just that I want to try new things. like hanging out till midnight with your friends. But people just don't understand. I wanted to know, does any of you agree with me?
