Stop trying to teach me life lessons,.
Life is hard enough.
Stop punishing me for things I have not done,.
I've done enough.
Stop trying to manipulate me,
Or my brother - YOUR son.
Stop trying to control it,
It's all come undone.
Stop trying to fake sanity,
Yours is long gone.
Stop trying to be young,
Grow gracefully with age.
Stop trying to be right,
For all the world is a stage.
Stop trying to try
Wait, at least you managed that.
