Mistakes
July 1, 2014
I know I'm supposed to be a role model,
Or a caregiver to the younger ones,
But sometimes I can't or I don't feel like it.
I shouldn't be the one being blamed for the way they act,
I shouldn't be the one wasting hours and hours of my life,
Telling them what's wrong and,
What's right.
They should learn from their own mistakes,
Not mine!
