INDEPENDENT NOW

BY: ASHVI THAKKAR

Mama
I love these new toys!
These sparkly shoes!
Can I have maybe two?

Papa
I dont like dolls anymore
I don’t like sparkly shoes
I don’t want any candy it’s bad for you

Can you take me to the mall
I wanna see my friends
It’s only 2 hours i’ll probably just have dinner there

Can I have some money?
Can I buy this shirt?
Can I get new jewelry?
Can I buy this skirt?

I’m an adult now and start treating me like one.
I’m not a little girl anymore.

I’m moving out
Ill miss you guys
don’t worry
i’ll see you every couple of months
.. ...... .ma..papa

Mama, Papa i miss you
I wish I had more time

You never said no
You never let me cry You took my burdens And you held
them inside
I took you for granted

cant stop crying
I didn’t visit enough
I barely even called
And now it’s too late because..
Both of you are gone.
