Why?
Because I said so
Why ?
Because I said so and you'll do as I say
Why?
Because I'm the adult
Why?
Because I'm the adult and adults know best
Why?
Because you need to
Why ?
Because you need to learn the error of your way
Why ?
Because I must show you
Why?
Because I must show you who's boss
Why?
Because I have to
Why?
Because I have to be in control
Why?
Because you're just a child
Why ?
Because you're just a child and don't understand
You're right!
I don’t understand!
I don’t understand why you say you know best!
How can it be best?
Mr Belton my Math teacher
Gave me a detention last week
And all I did was punch that horrible bully
He too said I had to learn the error of my way
Are you going to get a detention now Daddy?
For punching me….?
I don’t understand….

Really enjoy this as my favorite word is "WHY" an always will be
Thank you for your comment. Always ask why - thats what Ive told my daughter from day one. Don't be afraid to question things - even if an adult is telling you to do something. She's nearly a teenager now and Im sure Im going to regret telling her to always ask 'why'. ha ha

Good write but a very sad ending.
Thank you for your comment. I started this poem about a week ago, and I hadn't intended for it to be sad. Then when i revisited it, it just kind of ended up with a completely different meaning to me. It's funny how sometimes you don't know what you're going to write until you actually start.
So very true Leisa many of my poems end up with a different meaning from my original idea, that is the way the muse takes us.
Sad yet strong message.
Thank you.
