You have very high expectations for me
Expecting me to get straight A’s in school
And always telling me to be a Doctor or a Lawyer when I get older
because it’s the best job I could get
I know you are my dad
Wondering how I am doing in school
Coming home from work worn out every day
Laying down on the couch and taking a nap
Until it’s time for you to go back to work again
I know that you love me
Always telling me how much you love me
no matter what I do in my life
Because you will never get angry at me
I know that you care for me
When mom gets mad at me
You are always there
But that doesn’t mean you can decide
on what I have to do with my life
because it’s my life, not yours
Maybe I don’t want to be a Doctor
Maybe I don’t want to be a Lawyer
Maybe I don’t want to get straight A’s in school
I want to do what I want with my life
And you can’t say anything about it
I know you want me to go to a good school
like Standford
UCLA
And I will try to do that for you
But other than that
Please let me do what I want
